What is the Yale Concert Band?
The Yale Concert Band, the musical center for the woodwind and brass world at Yale University, is best known for its varied repertoire which spans from traditional marches, world premieres, and crowd favorites to the music of Glenn Miller and theatrical pieces (involving black lights, a fog machine, and sunglasses). Recent successes for the ensemble include a Brazilian tour to wild acclaim in the summer of 2007 and an appearance at the 2008 College Band Directors National Association Conference in Washington, DC.
