Concert Band

Concert Band is open to any student without audition who has played a band instrument in high school. The members of the band represent almost every major on campus, and more than half are non-music majors. The Concert Band performs three public concerts each year.

There is a volunteer Pep Band that plays at some home basketball games.

We offer several small ensembles (brass quintet, woodwind quintet) depending on the availability of players from year to year. Music majors and minors may audition for a performance scholarship (see our web site for audition dates) to play in the band.

Some band pieces that we have recently performed are as follows: Second Suite in F by Gustav Holst, The Winds of Poseidon by Robert W. Smith, and Esprit De Corps by Robert Jager. For our fall concert this year, we are performing Variations on a Korean Folk Song by John Barnes Chance and Persis by James Hosay.
