August 16, 2023

Scholarships available to cover tuition, fees

Yuma, AZ (August 16, 2023) – The Arizona Western College Music Department is looking for students interested in joining Pep Band for the upcoming fall and spring semesters. 

“There are high school band graduates all over campus, and the AWC Pep Band needs you!” said Dr. Shawn Pollard, Professor of Instrumental Music. “Every band instrument is needed and appreciated, but drum set players, all woodwinds, and tubas are in particular demand.”
 
The Pep Band performs on Friday or Saturday nights for the home volleyball games in the fall and the home basketball games in the spring. Patio concerts at the 3C Building and other performances are added when the sports seasons have concluded.

Rehearsals are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3 pm. Students interested in other styles of band music might also consider joining Community Band with rehearsals on Monday nights, or Jazz Ensemble with rehearsals on Wednesday nights.

Music scholarships are available to cover tuition and fees.
