The UNC Greensboro Band program is recognized as one of the leading collegiate band programs in the nation, offering a dynamic and comprehensive musical experience within the School of Music. Guided by a dedicated faculty of performers, educators, and scholars, the program includes the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band, as well as athletic bands that support Spartan Athletics and campus life.
Members of the UNCG Bands include undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in music, along with students from across the university who seek to continue performing at a high level as part of their college experience. Across all ensembles, students engage with a wide-ranging repertoire that spans traditional wind literature, contemporary works, and new music, emphasizing both artistic excellence and creative exploration.
