University bands include the Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz-Rock Ensemble and Pep Bands. Membership is open to all student instrumentalists.

Four choral groups are open to all students - Choraleers, Collegium, University Chorus and the Nebraskats. Membership is determined by audition. Many of the choirs take special tours throughout the year. Students desiring to perform in these organizations should make arrangements with the choral directors to audition for one or more of these vocal groups.
