Following two days of auditions, we are pleased to release the roster for the Fall 2023 USA Wind Ensemble, conducted by Dr. Will Petersen, and the Fall 2023 USA Symphony Band, conducted by Dr. Robert Abend.  Dr. Clayton Maddox assists with both bands. Many hours of preparation went into these auditions by our USA students and we would like to congratulate everyone who auditioned.
