乐团
The Department of Bands is represented by the following ensembles that perform a wide variety of musical selections for large audiences at various events.
Pep乐队
The university's Pep乐队 performs for the men’s and women’s basketball teams for home games and for tournament play. The unit is open to all students of the university and is a high-energy group who help to create the “Aggie Spirit” through performing exciting and rousing music. The group also participates in cheers with the crowd and the cheerleaders to help encourage Aggie victories on the court. The ensemble is comprised of approximately 50 instrumentalists. The pep band is not offered as a class so the students of the ensemble all volunteer to participate.
Small 乐团
The Department of Bands has added several small ensemble groups to further enhance the development of each musician and provide additional performance opportunities during the spring semester. These ensembles consist of:
-
- 长笛合唱团
- Clarinet Choir
- Saxophone Choir
- 小号合唱团
- Brass Ensemble
- Percussion Ensemble
Each ensemble is an independent performance group, ranging from 8 to 25 musicians each. Musicianship and technique development is the emphasis for the small ensemble. Because the groups are so small, the individual musician has to be accountable for his/her part in order for the music to be performed, strengthening each person’s musical abilities and developing more independent musicians and enhancing each member's performance levels.
舞台上乐队
The university's 舞台上乐队, better known as the Aggie Rhythm and 蓝色的s Review, performs during the Spring semester. This group performs a wide variety of selections from big band classics, Latin afro Cuban jazz, 比波普爵士乐, 融合, 流行音乐, rhythm and blues, and contemporary jazz. They are under the direction of Dr. Kenneth G. Ruff and 托马斯·G. 华纳,小.
Symphonic Band
The university's Symphonic Band currently meets on Tuesday, 周四, and every third and fourth Friday. The 65-75 piece ensemble is made up of many non-music majors who wish to continue to grow and develop on their instruments while enjoying performing standard concert band literature. In addition to a spring concert, the ensemble performs at many events within the community and public school engagements. This ensemble is under the direction of Dr. 拉蒙Lawhorn.
风合奏
The university's 风合奏 is open to all N.C. A&T students by audition only. The band consists of approximately 65-75 musicians.
