Wind Symphony
Our concert band is known as the Juniata College Wind Symphony. The ensemble performs a variety of literature for wind band, concert band, chamber wind ensembles, and, increasingly, supplies selected players to participate in one or more full orchestra pieces along with Sinfonia (our string ensemble). Repertoire is chosen with an emphasis on stylistic variety within the wind band genre, study of standard wind band literature as well as newer works, refinement ensemble playing abilities, and individual musicianship.
The ensemble rehearses as follows:
- full ensemble, Mondays 6:20-7:45 and Wednesdays 6:20-7:30 PM
- A large part of our musical and social success is based on the weekly like-instrument sectional program (50 minutes per week). These are scheduled according to the openings in members' schedules.
- in addition, select wind and percussion players are chosen for membership in our full orchestra.
