The McNeese Symphonic Band
The Symphonic Band is a 70-80 piece concert ensemble, conducted by Professor Tim Pardue. The band meets during the spring semester and is made up of students from various academic majors on campus.
Meeting on Monday/Wednesday, 4:30-5:45, the ensemble performs at least two concerts in the spring semester, consisting of a high level of literature.
The ensemble carries a band service award (scholarship) for all academically-qualifying students. Students are not required to audition for symphonic band (but must do an entrance audition, which also qualifies them for the service award).
