COLUMBUS — The Department of Music at Mississippi University for Women is seeking musicians of all ages and experience levels to join its Community Band for the 2025-26 academic year.
Members of the Golden Triangle community are invited to join the Community Band at The W.
The band is currently seeking woodwind, brass and percussion players to join the ranks and perform with other members of the Golden Triangle musical community.
“I would like to invite everyone in Columbus and the surrounding area to come join and play in The W’s Community Band,” said Melissa Reeves, director of bands at The W. “Whether you practice regularly or are picking up your instrument for the first time in several years, we welcome you.”
The band meets for rehearsals every Monday, beginning Aug. 25, from 6-8:30 p.m. in Shattuck Hall on The W’s campus. It is free to join, however, registration is required. Members also are asked to bring their own instruments.
The Community Band was founded in 2023 by the Department of Music at The W. It has served as a way for musical individuals in the community to come together and perform side-by-side for the very community they are a part of.
