As the primary ensemble for wind and percussion students, numerous concerts arepresented in both the fall and spring semesters, both on and off campus. Each spring,the band hosts a Wind Band Festival on campus, where high school bands and middleschool bands are invited to perform and receive critique from members of the MusicDepartment faculty, as well as work in a clinic setting with our world-class appliedprofessors.
Membership in the ensemble is open to all music majors and non-majors at the permission of the director. Instruments are available when necessary. For more information, contact Dr. Mark Cole, the Director of Bands.
