ALABAMA SYMPHONIC BAND
The Alabama Symphonic Band is one of six large instrumental ensembles housed within the University of Alabama School of Music, and one of three ability-based groups in the University of Alabama Band Department. In addition to the Alabama Symphonic Band, the University of Alabama Band Department also houses the world-renowned Alabama Wind Ensemble and the Alabama Concert Band. The Alabama Symphonic Band is comprised of both music majors and non-music majors, with approximately 85% of the players being music majors.

The band has had the honor of performing as a demonstration group for the Alabama Music Educators Association Inservice Conference in both 2009 and 2010 highlighting both new wind band literature and lesser- performed classics of the wind band repertoire. The band also
performed an invitational concert at the Alabama Band Directors’ Associations’ 2010 State Music Assessment.
