Reviews of professor Christopher Evans

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Evans is a big reason as to why I changed majors. I loved marching band and band in general before going to UTA. One thing that bugs me is that instead of encouraging students to audition for DCI, he threatens to give you an F if you miss any sort of rehearsal or performance. IMO, he should be excited when kids venture into the pro band world.

Was very understanding with COVID and always follows guidelines. I recommend marching band it was truly fun & rewarding. The time commitment is much easier than HS & I would at least try 1 semester. He is pretty "band centric" but most directors are.

Dr. Evans is an awesome man. Understanding of other time commitments you might have but also diligent in making sure his class is well attended. His rehearsals are discussion based and he allows students to give other students feedback (so long as it is encouraging and the right feedback). Always prepared and super down to earth. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Evans runs rehearsal as if it was a high school band. For the music education majors in there, that can be valuable, but he is depriving lots of non majors and other types of music majors of a college band experience by making us feel like we are back in 12th grade. He is not an understanding man and acts like life revolves around his band.
