Everyone has a passion for something. Whether its art, sports, music, history, or anything, people are passionate about some aspect of life.
At the University, there are students who have a love of music, and a desire to share their music with others.
This is why on March 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Wertheim Performing Arts Center, approximately 40 people will show up to the symphonic band concert, hosted by the University’s School of Music.
The band performs two concerts per semester, and have always been successful.
Although they love to perform, the band is dedicated to providing performances to the University alone, however anyone can attend.
Tickets can be bought online by students for 5 dollars, and by adults and alumni for 10 dollars. All of the money made from this event goes to the School of Music.
The band is open to anyone who has the desire to continue playing in a concert band, with a balanced number of girls and guys participating.
Professor Barry W. Bernhardt, interim director of bands, and director of the marching band, will be directing the event. He feels this event is important.
Bernhardt says “it is a representation of the work of our students in this portion of the Band Program at FIU. This band is mainly comprised of non-music majors.”
Bernhardt also welcomes anyone to join this particular band. Symphonic band rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m. and all are welcomed to sign up.
