Concert Band Spring 2022
The Institute’s current guidance continues to state that there are no class size restrictions which means we continue normal rehearsals in SAU A130. Musician’s masks will be required for all wind players. In the fall of 2021, due to a large increase in student interest in the Concert Band, the Band was split into a Tuesday Band and a Thursday Band. This may or may not be the case for the spring semester. This decision will be made the first week of classes in January 2022. The Band will have two performances in the spring semester, late February and toward the end of the semester.
