University of Illinois Bands

Campus Band is only offered in the Spring semester, and is equivalent to University Band based on the audition results.  A traditional concert band with set instrumentation, the University Band is open to both music majors and non-majors by audition, but does not fulfill the large ensemble requirement for music majors. The ensemble meets on Wednesday evenings in the Spring semester. 

Campus Band is specifically geared to non-music majors who want to continue playing and performing through enjoyable and rewarding musical experiences. The ensemble is also a recommended ensemble experience for music education majors who wish to become familiar with more repertoire and develop their skills on secondary instruments. Campus Band is also open to community members. Contact Michelle Bell (mcbell3@illinois.edu) for more information about participating.

Campus Band rehearses two hours per week and presents one concert per semester. The ensemble is open to all by audition.
