The Symphony Band is comprised of approximately sixty-five musicians who join together to perform six concerts each year. The ensemble is dedicated to broadening the musical interests of its members, and welcomes both music and non-music majors. The Symphony Band performs works of artistic and historical significance, with a special emphasis on new music, and occasionally features guest artists and composers.
