Symphonic Band needs musicians
Photos and story by James Hill
PCC’s Symphonic Band needs a few good musicians for its class. The band, which started at PCC Sylvania in January of 2008, is a required course for any music majors, satisfying a large ensemble requirement. Transferrable, the class meets on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 9:20 p.m. during fall term.
Large conducted ensemble for brass, woodwind and percussion instruments rehearses and performs repertoire from the 17th- 21st centuries. Designed for music majors but is available to all students. Previous high-school level band experience or equivalent is required and students must bring own instrument except percussion.
The band members will get together and perform at least three times per year (once each term). Students can register online or contact instructor Rob Izzett, at (503) 643-0787.
