What UW-Eau Claire band members
have to say:

"The UW-Eau Claire band program
enables me to work with nationally
recognized conductors, perform with
faculty soloists, and study top tier
wind band repertoire, all within a
comfortable and positive environment."

“The Blugold Marching Band is a great
community that allows nonmusic
majors to participate with highly skilled
musicians on a personal, relaxed basis.
It is a perfect balance of quality and
commitment.”
