Texas State University Bands
For nearly a century, the bands at Texas State University have represented the university at many national and international conventions, conferences and major events in the United States. The Department of Bands is home to five ensembles, each with a specific purpose and function within the university and School of Music. Regardless of whether or not you choose to major in music, there is a home for you in one or more of our ensembles.
The Wind Symphony is the finest wind band at the university. Admittance is by audition only.
The Symphonic Winds is a major wind band that performs in both the fall and spring semesters. Admittance is by audition only.
The Concert Band meets in the fall and spring semesters and offers an opportunity for students to continue playing without the pressure of auditions and a rigorous performance schedule.
The Bobcat Marching Band has a rich history of performance excellence and offers exciting opportunities for instrumentalists, colorguard members and twirlers to continue performing in an outstanding musical organization. The Bobcat Band offers scholarships to third, fourth and fifth year members for their participation.
Although the Bobcat Basketball Band begins in the fall as part of the Bobcat Marching Band, students register for credit for this ensemble in the spring semester. The band performs for all home basketball games that do not fall over a university break. Spring semester members earn a scholarship for their participation.
