ISU welcomes alums who have played in any School of Music concert band back to campus for a weekend of music-making!
Even if you can only attend the Saturday rehearsal and performance, everyone is welcome!
Registration closed May 1, 2025
UPDATE: Repertoire has been decided! This repertoire is according to the current sign-up numbers; we are moving forward with one band at this level. BUT, we are happy to add a second group at a more accommodating level of music should a large enough group sign up before the deadline.
