Wind Ensemble
The concert ensembles are a vibrant part of the Department of Music and the Band Program
at UT. The Wind Ensemble and the Symphonic Band are open to all UT students and both
perform several concerts throughout the year. Whether you want to be challenged as
a player or just want to have fun playing music, we have an ensemble for you.
The University Wind Ensemble is comprised of some of the most talented wind players and percussionists on the
UT campus, performing high-quality literature composed over the past 400 years. The
ensemble stages up to three concerts each semester, both on and off campus. The Wind
Ensemble is open to ALL university students through audition. Auditions consist of
provided excerpts and sightreading. For further information, email the director - jason.stumbo@utoledo.edu.
Audition excerpts for the Fall 2019 Wind Ensemble, and for any winds/percussion auditioning for the Orchestra, are below. Simply select the link to your instrument for a printable pdf of the music. Prepare the excerpts to the best of your abilities. DO NOT STRESS. No one is expecting perfection at the audition. We are simply looking for how well you do with the limited time you have.
