UNCG Bands

The mission of the UNCG Bands is dedicated to the teaching, performance, study and cultivation of wind band music of the highest quality. We believe that the UNCG Bands are a serious and distinctive medium of musical expression, of vital service and importance to its members and to UNCG. We seek to bring the UNCG Bands into direct comparison with the very finest collegiate band programs in America by our performances, recordings, tours and convention performances. Through exemplary practices in organization, training, and presentation, the UNCG Bands endeavor to provide effective experiences in musical education and in music culture for its members. The UNCG Bands seek to offer outstanding performances throughout the year and to enhance the institutional spirit and character of UNCG. To music as an art and a profession, the UNCG Bands seek to bring increasing artistry, understanding, and respect by efforts within our own immediate sphere and by providing leadership and sponsorship to secondary school band programs and through cooperation with all other agencies pursuing similar musical goals.
