THE ENSEMBLES
CONCERT BAND
Our Concert Band has been performing since December of 2005. Membership fluxuates throughout the year from 30-50 members depending on the time of year and concert cycle.
Our rehearsals are laid-back and productive at the same time. Each Tuesday evening we meet from 6:30-8 pm at the Steffen Music Center (Cold Spring Rd) on the Marion University campus.
Our music encompass a wide range of genres and difficulty levels. We typically have about nine rehearsals to prepare for each performance.

My friend Sam invited me to come and play. I knew (Conductor) Chris from when he worked with Center Grove, so I knew it was going to be reputable. I stay because these are my friends. It's like family at times.
