CSUB Bands

Welcome to the CSUB Bands! Whether you’re looking for an intensive musical ensemble experience, looking to have fun in a group musical setting, or being an essential part of campus spirit, we have a place for you.

We will hold placement auditions for Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Pep Band. The auditions will be held on August 18 & 19 (you can sign up for a time slot below). Only Concert Band requires an audition to be admitted; Symphonic Band and Pep Band auditions are for chair placement only.

Mandatory rehearsals are scheduled for August 21 & 22, 4:00pm-5:45pm in Music Building Room 128. This is for all members of all bands. 

Concert Band Audition Requirements:

  • As many major scales as you can play
  • Chromatic scale
  • Two selections from the audition materials

Symphonic Band & Pep Band Placement Audition Requirements:

  • Two major scales of your choice
  • Chromatic scale

Drumline: Attend the first rehearsal (Thursday, August 21, 4:00pm) - if you are only interested in participating in drumline, you do not need to attend the auditions on August 18 & 19. Those interested in Drumline should still complete the audition form.

Concert Band and Symphonic Band schedules for the year are included in the audition materials. 

The Pep Band season schedule can be viewed here.
