Longhorn Concert Band – Longhorn Band | The University of Texas at Austin

Longhorn Band is a year-long commitment. The spring semester is the concert band season for the LHB. All students in LHB are required to participate in the spring semester. Musicians not part of LHB are encouraged and welcome to audition for performance opportunities during the spring.

Longhorn Pep Band does NOT meet the LHB Spring concert requirement (see approved courses below).
Both music majors and non-music majors in LHB can receive credit for fulfilling this requirement through these large ensembles in addition to the Longhorn Concert Bands (Wind Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra, Wind Symphony, and Symphony Band) participation in the spring.
Percussion students are required to play in a concert ensemble or Jazz Band and have the option to participate in Percussion Ensemble as an additional ensemble. (Rehearsal time to be split between the two ensembles)

Auditions for all groups will take place during the first week of the spring semester. The audition materials will be posted during the last week of the fall semester (about a month prior to the audition.) Results will be emailed to everyone who registers for auditions.
