University of Illinois Bands

Campus Band performs works for concert band and focuses specifically on providing members with a variety of quality experiences performing a combination of traditional and varied repertoire. The ensemble meets on Wednesday evenings in both Fall and Spring semesters.

Campus Band is specifically geared to non-music majors who want to continue playing and performing through enjoyable and rewarding musical experiences and is also a recommended experience for music education majors who wish to become familiar with more repertoire and develop their skills on secondary instruments. Campus Band is also open to community members. Contact the Alex Mondragon (alexm8@illinois.edu) for more information about participating.

Campus Band rehearses two hours per week and presents one concert per semester. The ensemble is open to all by audition. Campus Band is open to both music majors and non-majors by audition, but does not fulfill the large ensemble requirement for music majors.

Campus Band and University Band are equivalent ensembles based on the audition results.
