Concert Bands
The nationally recognized Nevada Wind Ensemble is the flagship concert band at the University. Using one-per-part instrumentation, the wind ensemble performs a broad repertoire of classic and contemporary music styles.
The Nevada Concert Winds, a division of the wind ensemble, adheres to the same instrumentation and artistic principles and serves a broad student population from across the University, including many non-music majors.
