Ensembles

New for Spring 2022 – join the Pep Band!

If you play a rhythm section instrument or a traditional band instrument, we’d love to have you for this PAID performance opportunity starting in January. Here are some quick details:

• There will be an audition in the late Fall involving an individual component and a group component.
• Members chosen for the group will be expected to be at EVERY home basketball game starting on January 6th.
• You will need to be available for rehearsal on Wednesdays from 3-5 PM, and one extended rehearsal in December (date TBD).
• You will be paid for each performance. We are still working out the amount, but we expect between $30-50 per game.
• A meal will be provided for each game (!!!)
• We will need a Student Director – students with ensemble leadership and conducting experience highly encouraged to apply.

If you are interested, please fill out THIS FORM.
Please send any questions to AJ Covey at acovey@montevallo.edu.

In fall 2007, UM’s piano program in the Department of Music received an “All-Steinway” designation. Through a very generous donation from a local business, UM music students have the very finest of pianos upon which to practice and perform.
