June 5, 2019

To the Members of the 2019 Ball State Bands: It’s a pleasure to welcome you to the Ball State University Band program. The Ball State Bands have a long tradition of outstanding performances on the BSU campus, as well as at regional and national concert band conferences and athletic events. As a member of the BSU Bands, you are part of one of the most respected band programs in the country. If you are a new member of the Ball State Band program, I want to welcome you to campus and the Ball State Band family. I encourage you to take advantage of the numerous musical opportunities in the School of Music and to make the Music Instruction Building your musical home-away-from-home. If you are a returning band member, welcome back! You are the heart and soul of the program and already understand the high standards expected of our student musicians. 2019 will be another exciting year for the “Pride of Mid-America” Marching Band. You will have the opportunity to cheer on the Ball State Cardinals at all home football games and additional performances throughout Indiana. One of this year’s highlights will be a performance in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium when our Cardinals take on the Hoosiers from Indiana University. You will receive more information about POMA in the following summer information packet. Last year marked another terrific year for our concert ensembles and 2019-2020 should be equally impressive. In addition to hosting a number of guest conductors, composers and artists on campus, the BSU Bands will also welcome high school students from throughout the region to campus for our Honor Band Festival and host the Fourteenth Annual BSU Wind Band Conducting Workshop in the spring. Highlights include our first concert of the fall which will feature music composed by outstanding women composers and include guest composer Jennifer Jolley from Texas Tech University. In the spring, Joe Alessi, principal trombonist with the New York Philharmonic will be performing with our Wind Ensemble. As always, I have high expectations for all of the BSU bands. With your help, I have no doubt the Ball State Band program will remain one of finest collegiate band programs in the United States. Have a relaxing summer. GO CARDS!

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Thomas E. Caneva

* Times are different from last year Audition excerpts can be downloaded on the band website (bsu.edu/bands). They are also available in the Ensembles Office (MI-136) or from your applied professor. You must sign up for an audition time outside your applied professor’s door (for example, if you play flute, sign up for an audition time outside Dr. Watanabe’s office)

If you have a conflict with your assigned audition time, please contact your applied professor and Dr. Caneva ([email protected]) PRIOR to your scheduled time.

The morning of Tuesday, August 20 will be used for make-up auditions. Please see your applied faculty member to schedule a make-up audition time. The sign-up sheet listing times available for make-up auditions will be on the Ensembles Office window (MI 136).

Please be on time to your audition. Missing your audition may result in not being assigned to a major designated ensemble or assigned to a non-auditioned ensemble.
