Band Service

Wind Ensemble & Wind Orchestra

In addition to attending rehearsals and concerts, each member of the ensemble is encouraged to complete a Band Service project each quarter. The Band Service is the joyful task of supporting a band-related effort. These tasks are usually pretty short and may involve the following:

  • Moving Equipment to the PAC for concerts
  • Set-up or Teardown of Concerts
  • Creating social media posts to support band efforts
  • Putting up Advertising Posters around campus/town Library Help (with approval of librarian)
  • Set up for rehearsals (with approval of stage manager)
  • Other possible services to be announced by leadership

All Band Service assignments must be approved by the officer in charge of the project in order to receive credit. Projects will be announced and signup sheets will be posted.

Failure to complete the Band Service may result in the lowering of the final grade by one letter.
