University Band

Skip Snead, chair of the School of Music

The Alabama University Band began in the spring of 2018 and is comprised of University students from various majors. The membership of the ensemble is selected by audition at the beginning of the Spring semester. The band performs a varied repertoire of literature that includes new literature from contemporary composers to the some of the cornerstone classics written for the wind band. The ensemble rehearses two days each week in the Spring semester with two performances. All concerts are open to the public, free of charge and begin at 7:30 PM (unless otherwise announced). Concerts are available to view online via the UA SOM YouTube channel.
