The University 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 Monday evenings in both Fall and Spring semesters.

University 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. University Band is also open to community members. Contact the conductor for more information about participating.

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

University Band and Campus Band are equivalent ensembles based on the audition results. Campus Band meets Spring Semester only.
