Are you a college music student? Would you like to perform with the Concert Band?

Washington, D.C. --  The U.S. Air Force Concert Band is conducting the Air Force's first-ever Collegiate Symposium, designed to afford college music students the opportunity to rehearse and interact with band members and perform in a combined concert setting in the Washington, D.C. area.

Interested students will be asked to send in a prepared audition packet. From these submissions, band members will select a handful of woodwind, brass and percussion instrumentalists to Washington, D.C., for a weekend of rehearsals, master classes and other enriching activities.

This inaugural event is replacing the Band's annual Young Artist Competition, which was held in February and featured one high-school student as a soloist with the band. With the chance to host multiple students, we now have the opportunity to reach a larger segment of students and influence a greater number of future professional musicians.
