Concert band audition results have been released for the Spring of 2026. Congratulations to everyone who auditioned for a concert band this semester!

The USA Wind Ensemble will have its first rehearsal on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at 12:00PM in the Laidlaw Rehearsal Hall - please note the later start time than normal in order to allow us to prepare and hand out music for the semester from 11:15AM-12:00PM.  The USA Symphony Band will have its first rehearsal on Tuesday, January 13, 2025 at 11:00AM in the Laidlaw Rehearsal Hall.

Students in Wind Ensemble should be enrolled for MUO 127/427/527 and students enrolled in Symphony Band should be enrolled in MUO 117/417/517.  Make sure you are enrolled in the correct ensemble for the appropriate amount of hours (either .5 or 1 credit).

Wind Ensemble rehearses on M/W from 11:15AM-1:10PM and F from 11:15AM-12:05PM.  Symphony Band rehearses on T/TH from 11:00AM-12:15PM.

Notes:

• Instrumental music majors who were not placed in a concert band should register for University Band (MUO137/MUO437) which meets from 4-6PM on Wednesdays.
• Instrumental minors not placed in an auditioned concert band should register for University Band.
• First and second year JMB students who are required to participate in a band should register for University Band if not placed in Wind Ensemble or Symphony Band.
• Non-majors who did not make Wind Ensemble or Symphony Band are encouraged to join University Band and also consider performing with a small ensemble!  
• Students who enrolled in both ensembles prior to their audition who are only playing in one ensemble should drop the ensemble they are not playing in from their schedule.
