The Falcon Ensemble is comprised of students in grades 6 through 8 and meets one day per week after school. The Falcon Ensemble focuses on developing advanced musicianship through a more demanding repertoire. In addition to performing at the 7^th/8^th Grade Band concert, the Falcon Ensemble also frequently performs in the community, giving students the opportunity to perform for varied audiences.

Falcon Ensemble is a high-achieving ensemble.  The group frequently earns superior ratings at Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Music Performance Assessments.  Falcon Ensemble had the honor of being selected to perform at the 2024 Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Annual In-Service Conference, the 2025 National Association for Music Education Eastern Division Conference, and the 2026 Philadelphia Wind Band Festival (Music for All Affiliate Regional Music Festival) at West Chester University.
