Scheduled “No Rehearsal” Days The UT Band program encourages and promotes academic excellence. On occasion, our performance schedule will allow us to take some well-deserved “time-off.” These dates will be announced well in advance so that students may schedule around them.
This is a TENTATIVE schedule. A final schedule will be distributed in the official Band Handbook/Course Syllabus.
