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 a student
chooses to major in music, there is a home for them in one
or more of our groups.
The Wind
Ensemble 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 Bobcat
Marching Band has a rich history of performance excellence
that spans 86 years and offers an exciting opportunity for
instrumentalists, colorguard members and twirlers to continue
performing in an outstanding musical organization. The band
has earned the moniker “Pride of the Hill Country”
due to its great spirit and high performance standards.
The Concert
Band meets in the spring semester and offers an opportunity
for students to continue playing without the pressure of
auditions and a rigorous performance schedule.
Although
the Bobcat Basketball Band begins in the fall semester,
students register for credit in the spring. The band performs
for all home basketball games that do not fall over a university
break.
