The Wind Symphony is an outstanding ensemble which performs some
of the finest, most challenging and rewarding literature available. An average
semester for this group includes two or more formal concerts on campus, one
to two off-campus performances, and each spring semester the ensemble goes on
a five day concert and clinic tour. Although this group is comprised largely
of music majors, membership in the Wind Symphony is open to any competent and
motivated wind or percussion player; current SDSU student or not. Membership
in the group requires an audition, consisting of a two- to three-minute prepared
piece (anything that will show off your ability) and sight reading element.
Auditions are conducted by Director of Bands Harold Warman, and may include
other Music Department faculty members. Non-SDSU students will be required to
enroll in the one-unit course through the College of Extended Studies - Open
University program, for a fee of $135 per semester. Primary auditions are by
appointment and final auditions are held the first week of the semester. Check
the schedule for the next audition date, time, and information. Continuing students
must register for the class prior to final audition time. The Wind Symphony meets from 11:00 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. on Mondays
and Wednesdays, and selected Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7 p.m. (see schedule
page for details) |
