College Band (MUS202)
Performance of band literature with emphasis on excellence in musical performance and development of professional musicianship. Class members will participate in class activities, and sectional rehearsals.. Prereq: Experience with instrumental performance.
These are unprecedented times and given the current climate we cannot hold rehearsals in the same way that we did before. I really wish that this were the case, but it is not. But making sure that we have some type of music until we can all meet together in large groups is important. So let us use this time to work on our own individual playing so that when we can finally meet up we can have more enriching musical experiences.
