The African-American Association strives to promote unity and black cultural awareness among students. Membership is open to all students and faculty members. The Band meets concurrently with Community Band and is designed as an organization for recreation through musical participation.
Emphasis is upon concert band repertoire and preparation for performance.
Several public performances are given each year. Any student already having a background in instrumental music may participate. The purpose of participating is to get the student closer to the real world of business and investing through simulation. The students involved in this competition are motivated to stay abreast of the nation's businesses and events through the various media supplementing their business education. An internet service is also used.
