 Instrumental Ensembles
Music is a vital component of the liberal arts education at Jamestown College. The Concert Band, String Ensemble/Chamber Orchestra, Jazz Band, and Pep Band provide numerous opportunities to perform on and off campus. These instrumental ensembles are a unique mixture of music majors, students from all academic disciplines, and community members. This combination allows music majors to refine their professional skills, while providing others an opportunity to continue making music at a high level. All groups perform music from both the traditional and modern-day repertoire, representing many genres and stylistic periods. The curricular ensembles and the extracurricular Pep Band all focus on providing students with a venue to play their instrument in a large ensemble context. |

 Participation Benefits
An active performance schedule provides opportunities to perform for fellow students and the community. Pep Band members enjoy special seating at football and basketball games. Instrumental ensemble members are encouraged to pursue private lessons as a course elective. Annual tours are often a greatly anticipated part of the concert season. |

 Performances
The Concert and Jazz Bands perform during Family Weekend, Homecoming, Baccalaureate and Commencement, in addition to regular fall and spring semester concerts in the DeNault Auditorium. The annual Christmas concert is a special presentation that is well-supported by the community, and attended by hundreds of audience members. The Chamber Orchestra performs in the Denault Auditorium orchestra pit for the fall musical, and in Voorhees Chapel for their spring concert. The Pep Band performs for home football games at Taylor Stadium on campus, and at Conference basketball games at the Jamestown Civic Center.
Concert Tour
Annual tours offer an opportunity for ensemble members to travel and perform for alumni and friends of the College around the country. Touring allows ensemble members to share their talents with other regions, as well as increase public awareness of Jamestown College. Instrumental ensemble members have previously traveled to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. |
