The USF School of Music offers numerous performance opportunities through ensembles, including choral groups, bands, jazz ensembles, orchestra, percussion ensembles, electronic music groups, and a host of chamber ensembles.
Auditions are open to all USF students—from music majors seeking to improve their skills to non-majors wanting to round out their college experience. Auditions are generally held the weekend before classes start in the fall and spring.
Ensemble choices include Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Campus Concert Band, and the Herd of Thunder Marching Band. Contact Dr. John Carmichael, Director of Bands, for more information.
Students interested in voice at USF, can choose between the Chamber Singers, Bel Canto Women's Chorus, the Singing Stampede Men's Choir, and an advanced Lab Choir. Membership in the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay is also available through audition. Contact Dr. Duncan Couch, Interim Director of Choral Activities , for more information.
