Campus-Community Band
The Dordt College Campus-Community Band is dedicated to the study and performance of significant literature for winds and percussion. Beginning in fall 2003, community adults and outstanding high school students who wish to supplement their study and performance of band music were welcomed into membership. Typically the ensemble consists of 55-65 musicians.
Director of Instrumental Music Mr. Bradley Miedema conducts the Campus-Community Band, as well as the Concert Band. Dordt's wind ensemble program also includes the Jazz Band and smaller chamber ensembles.
Recent Campus-Community Band repertoire includes:
- A Festival Prelude, Reed
- English Folk Song Suite, Williams
- Pas Redouble, Saint-Saëns
