Bluffton University - Concert Band

Playing with the Concert Band is an excellent way to meet people and relieve the stresses of daily student life! Members in the band come from a wide cross-section of the campus, with current membership of over 70 musicians.

The Bluffton University Concert Band, open to all wind, brass and percussion players, performs a variety of classical and pops literature in concerts both on-campus and in the community. We strive to offer quality musical performances with thought-provoking programming.

Members do not have to audition for the band unless they wish to be considered for seating placement.

Concert Band rehearses three hours per week: Monday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00 and Thursday afternoons from 4:00 – 5:00.

Students may sign up either for credit or zero credit. The zero credit option exists for students who are carrying a full load but wish to continue their participation in the ensemble.

Contact Dr. Jeff Boehm for more information.
