This course is designed to assist in the development of performance and rehearsal skills in applied instrumental music and to provide students with a survey of band literature, both sacred and secular, in a concert-band format. This group, which meets once a week and requires one to two performances per semester, is open to music major, non-music majors and community members. Musicians are responsible for providing their own instruments and may be required to purchase concert attire at a minimal cost. Music is provided by the College. Ensemble scholarships for course tuition are available through audition. Prerequisite: Previous instrumental experience at the high school level or private instrumental instruction
