AUBURN UNIVERSITY SYMPHONIC WINDS
The Auburn University Symphonic Winds, conducted by Director of Bands and Professor of Music, Dr. Rick Good, is the premier performing ensemble of the Auburn University Bands. A select group of 55 players, the Symphonic Winds perform a broad and diverse repertoire of standard and contemporary band literature along with occasional transcriptions. In recent years, this group has performed numerous times for

Bandmasters Association events, and has undertaken tours within the southern region of the United States each spring. Of special note, the ensemble applied and has been accepted by the United States – China Cultural and Educational Foundation to The People’s Republic of China for a ten-day performance tour, March 2012. Membership in the AU Symphonic Winds is by audition and is open to any Auburn student regardless of major.

Prior to that promotion he served from 1995-2006 as Marching Band Director and Associate Professor of Low Brass at Auburn University. In addition to overseeing the successful development of all university bands, as Director of Bands, Dr. Good’s current duties include conducting the Auburn University Symphonic Band, the university’s top performing instrumental ensemble and the AU Symphonic Winds, a smaller select group that features soloists and sections in unique musical wind and percussion opportunities.
