The Texas
Christian University has developed a tradition of outstanding
performances and recordings of high quality repertoire. Members
include a mixture of music majors and additional fine musicians
from across the TCU campus. Under the direction of Brian Youngblood,
the curriculum also focuses upon offering the students wind
music of artistic and historical significance. Repertoire selections
include works on the Texas UIL 4A and 5A list. Through rehearsal
and performance of this range of repertoire, students are exposed
to a wide variety of compositional techniques, rehearsal processes
and expressive possibilities. Symphonic Band is offered during
the fall and spring semester.
