When the Marching Band season finishes, the hard work by Bixby's band members doesn’t stop. The Bixby High School Concert Bands continue to practice and prepare for community concerts and statewide competitions. Concert Band is a credit class held during the first period of the 2nd and 3rd Trimesters. Based upon individual ability and the needs of the bands, students are placed in either the Concert Band or Wind Ensemble. Many students also choose to participate in smaller groups such as Woodwind Choir, Brass Choir or Percussion Ensemble. The Concert Bands present three yearly concerts, including a Holiday Concert in conjunction with the High School Vocal Music Department. A recent and very popular tradition is the Annual Outdoor Spring Concert held in May at Bixby’s beautiful Washington Irving Park Amphitheater. To present an additional challenge and to ensure the bands are meeting the high standard expected by the Bixby staff, the Concert Bands participate in several District and State competitions sponsored by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA). Many students also participate in Solos and Ensembles Competitions in the Winter and Spring months, with several Bixby students being selected each year for All-State honors.
