Ithaca College Summer Band is an elective graduate level summer course that can be taken by anyone with extensive experience on a primary wind or percussion instrument. The option exists to take the course for credit, but may also be taken simply for the fun of music-making with no registration required!
The time commitment is relatively minimal: the Band meets every Monday and Wednesday evening from 5:15-6:50 in the School of Music between 5 July and 3 August with a culminating concert the evening of 3 August. Selected repertoire will be based on the number of players, but will reflect a bias toward Music Education related literature and works that are useable in high-quality high school programs.
There are currently vacancies in EVERY instrument area and all interested parties are encouraged to send correspondence to Prof. Drew Benware at abenware@ithaca.edu at your earliest convenience to secure a spot. At that point, known conflicts can be communicated.
Give some thought to joining today, and encourage your friends to do the same! What a great way to spend a couple of Ithaca evenings each week - making great music together!
