About the Ensemble
The CWU Pep Band is an auditioned group of 30-40 players supporting the men and women’s basketball teams and other special university events. Auditions take place during fall quarter. Pep Band instrumentation consist of the following: piccolo, clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, mellophone, trombone, baritone, sousaphone, guitar, electric bass, and percussion (drum set).
Although the pep band is not an academic class, students selected for the ensemble must adhere to a published performance schedule. The ensemble will have scheduled rehearsals in early January prior to the start of performances.
