SHERMAN, TEXAS-The Austin College Concert Band seeks qualified musicians from the community to audition for performance, with openings in most sections of the band. Robert Archer, Concert Band director and Austin College adjunct instructor in music, explained that the group is a full concert band, doubling many parts. The spring season begins February 6 at 7 p.m. with a short organizational meeting and rehearsal in Craig Hall, Room 114, at Austin College.
Regular rehearsals are held each Wednesday, 7 to 9 p.m., in Craig Hall, Room 114. The band's spring concert is scheduled for April 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Wynne Chapel.
Individuals seeking more information about the ensemble or wishing to participate should contact Archer at barcher@austincollege.edu or call the Department of Music at 903.813.2251.
Now in its tenth season, the band is a joint effort of Austin College and community musicians. Band members include Austin College students-music majors and non-music majors, Austin College faculty, area high school band directors, music professionals, and community members who enjoy playing music. Archer said the large ensemble is dedicated to reading and performing traditional and contemporary band literature.
