GC Ensembles
Grayson College Viking Pep Band/Chamber Ensembles
MUEN 1133.001 Chamber Ensemble 1 (Freshman) and MUEN 2133.001 Chamber Ensemble 2 (Sophomore)
The GC Viking Pep Band is the most visible element of the band program on campus. Our mission is to support the amazing athletes and athletic staff and bring spirited entertainment to each home basketball game along with other Grayson College events.
Around the basketball season, we break into small ensembles for other performance opportunities. These ensembles will ultimately be student led with additional coaching given by the Professor.
The band is open to all students of Grayson College along with faculty, staff and community members. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:00 – 12:15 PM with additional rehearsals as needed. We play many different styles of music include stand tunes, rock and pop music.
Scholarships are available to Pep Band members for tuition along with room and board in the residence halls. If you are interested in participating in the Pep Band, please contact the director, Dr. Andy Wright at wrighta@grayson.edu.
