| The Bands rehearse four times weekly with several performances scheduled throughout the year and a regional tour each fall. Auditions are held the first weekend campus is open. Instrumental ensembles are formed to enrich the music experience of interested and qualified performers. |

| Concert and Chapel Choirs |
| As an organization of Jamestown College, the choral program is committed to the liberal arts and development of the whole individual. Students from all academic disciplines are welcomed to all ensembles. In order to achieve our mission, each member must demonstrate unwavering dedication to the musical goals through exemplary attendance, rehearsal discipline, and individual vocal development. |

| Voorhees Chapel |

| Historic Voorhees Chapel is a vital part of campus life. The sanctuary has served as the venue for many concerts and student recitals and is still used for weekly services and special functions. Refurbishing of the chapel to its original elegance is now complete with the magnificent new Black-Schlossman Memorial Organ gracing the balcony. |
