Eastern Symphonic Band—ESB

The Eastern Symphonic Band consists of approximately 40-50 woodwind, brass, and percussion players, and is a non-auditioned ensemble. Meaning, students can simply sign up for the class on PAWS and become a member of the band. Symphonic Band only meets one night each week, so the time commitment for this group is minimal. Made up of mostly non-music majors, some community members, and some music education majors playing secondary instruments, this group provides a wonderful performance outlet for non-music majors with minimal time commitment.
