PBA Symphonic Band

       

The PBA wind ensemble is made up of 30 students (majors and non-majors) that present three concerts annually.  The wind ensemble is purposefully limited in numbers so that parts are not doubled.  This provides not only a unique chamber-like quality to the sounds of the ensemble, but also allows autonomy and accountability for each member of the ensemble.  This ensemble is committed to performing the finest repertoire available for winds, including works by Maslanka, Persichetti, Ticheli, Grainger, etc.
