USF Community Band

The University of Sioux Falls is proud to announce the creation of the USF Community band! This new ensemble is designed to provide an opportunity for interested community members to make music and enjoy fellowship with other local musicians. While the UCB will rehearse and perform at USF this fall, it is truly intended as a community band, open to everyone. Whether you are currently performing at church or in the community, or you haven’t played since high school or college, we hope you will consider being a part of the USF Community Band!

Join the Band

The USF Community band is an innovative collaboration between the University of Sioux Falls and Augustana University in which forces are combined to serve the local musical community. The new USF Community Band will rehearse and perform in the fall, and the Augustana Blue and Gold Band will rehearse and perform in the spring, allowing community musicians the opportunity to participate in both ensembles.
