Tacoma Youth Symphonic Band (TYSB)
Tacoma Youth Symphonic Band (TYSB) serves as the primary training ensemble for developing woodwind, brass, and percussion musicians within TYSA. Through the performance of engaging wind ensemble repertoire, students build strong technical foundations, deepen their musical skills, and develop the listening and teamwork habits essential to successful ensemble playing. Regular sectional coaching provides focused instruction on each instrument, while collaborative experiences with string musicians introduce students to the unique challenges and rewards of performing within a larger orchestral setting. TYSB prepares young musicians for continued advancement in TYSA’s symphonic ensembles and is conducted by Mr. John Wetherington and Ms. Gianna DeBolt.
