About UT Bands
The University of Tennessee Band Program is recognized among the most prominent, historic, and largest collegiate band programs in the United States. We build upon that legacy through superb and innovative musical performances and experiences, while honoring our rich traditions.
Led by a team of three faculty members, the program consists of The University of Tennessee Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band, as well as the world renowned Pride of the Southland Marching Band and pep bands. Members of these ensembles include undergraduate and graduate students seeking degrees in music, as well as non-majors who wish to continue performing as a part of their college experience.
