Greetings from the Director:

Welcome to the University of Georgia Bands website! Here you will find information about all aspects of our program, one of the largest and finest comprehensive University programs in the nation with a tradition stretching back over a century. The 2012-13 season promises to be one of our most exciting yet! We will host three world class guest artists this year: Frank Wickes (fall) and John Whitwell (spring) will be serving as Interim Associate Director of Bands, and Italian conductor Marcello Rota will be with us in October.

The UGA Wind Ensemble has recently released a new recording “Street Song” on the Naxos label, and will be performing at the American Bandmasters Association Convention in Tampa on March 7. We have also been invited to perform a Gala Feature Concert at the Jungfrau Music Festival in Interlaken, Switzerland in July 2013. The Redcoats kick off what promises to be an outstanding season at Sanford Stadium on Saturday, September 1. We will host the third annual “Concert on The Lawn” Friday, September 28 at 12:30 on the lawn of North Campus-bring a picnic lunch and join us!

UGA student musicians at all levels of ability and interest are invited to join the UGA Band family. Former band members are encouraged to join our very active alumni association. Audience members and friends of the UGA Bands are invited to attend our many concerts. Middle School band directors are encouraged to join us for our 22nd Annual Midfest and High School band directors are invited to participate in Janfest 2013. We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!

Warmest Regards,

Dr. John P. Lynch, Director of Bands
