BURST! by Dayla Spencer provides an appropriate statement to open the Wind Symphony performance. The Wind Symphony will feature graduate student, Francis Jaquette, winner of the 2024 Wind Symphony Concerto competition, performing Dana Wilson’s The Conjurer. Also included in the program are Anthony Iannaccone’s After a Gentle Rain, Benjamin Horne’s Deep River, and Vincent Persichetti’s Divertimento.

Concert Band: The concert band is a campus wide organization meeting during the Spring semester. It is open to any University student and provides an outlet for musical expression. Students practice twice a week and perform one concert at the end of the semester. In addition, the students are encouraged to rehearse as a section one hour a week. The ensemble performs modern, multicultural, and standard band literature. This ensemble is the only concert band open to any student regardless of ability level.

Membership into the Wind Symphony is open to any West Chester University student. An audition is required in October for participation in the Spring semester. The band rehearses two hours a week, meeting once a week in the Fall term and twice a week in the Spring term. Students are asked to conduct a sectional for one hour each week. Music selections are chosen from the standard band literature, transcriptions, and light concert repertoire.
