The Symphonic Band is the premier large instrumental ensemble at CSUSB.  Comprised of 40-50 undergraduate music and non-music majors, the Symphonic Band explores the cornerstones of the wind literature as well as the finest contemporary works for wind band.  The Symphonic Band performs with guest artists and composers, and tours throughout the Inland Empire.  Previous concerts have featured such guest artists as L.A.-based soprano Karen Hogle Brown and composer Bernard Gilmore.

This year the Symphonic Band will inaugurate a student concerto and composition contest.  Winners of the 1st Annual CSUSB Bands Concerto/Composition Competition will perform with the Symphonic Band on its June 2008 concert.
