Symphonic & Concert Bands

The Symphonic Band is the top undergraduate wind band. Although made up essentially of music majors, the Symphonic Band is open to all university students by comprehensive auditions. Two performances are scheduled each semester in addition to tours and frequent appearances at national conventions or conferences (Patrick Dunnigan, Conductor).

The Concert Band is devoted to the rehearsal, study, and performance of important band literature. This ensemble is open to all students with interest and experience, by audition. (Steven Kelly, Conductor).
