The Spring 2001 repertory included such works as de Meij's Lord of the Rings Symphony , and Canzona by Peter Mennin. We will be performing two concerts in Richardson Auditorium during the 2001-2002 school year, in late November and in mid April. The wind ensemble is different from the other Music Department ensembles in that it is student run. Its members have a variety of majors, from engineering to music. Balancing a heavy workload is no problem, as nearly all of the members take part in several other campus activities as well.
Any musician is welcome in the ensemble.
Although you are required to audition to be in the Ensemble, anyone playing a decent audition will receive a spot - the auditions are for seating purposes only. About one third of our members also perform with the marching band or orchestra. This fall, the ensemble is especially looking for percussionists, low woodwinds, and low brass players, particularly trombones. Additional rehearsals will be added near concert dates. All rehearsals are mandatory, and participation in the ensemble will require rehearsal attendance.
