Symphonic Band
The University of North Georgia Symphonic Band, conducted by Dr. J. Ashley Jarrell, is open to all students with prior playing experience in high school. Comprised of music and non-majors alike, the ensemble is set within a traditional symphonic band.
The band performs a wide and varied repertoire from standard masterworks for wind band, to the latest works from contemporary composers. This music is both challenging and musically rewarding.
The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Symphonic Band performs both on and off campus throughout the entire academic year. Members of the band are required to participate in all rehearsals and performances and are expected to spend time outside of class perfecting and refining their musical abilities. The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Symphonic Band is the resident ensemble on the Gainesville Campus.
