Indiana University

We hosted several guest composers this year including Joel Puckett and Joni Greene.

 In April 2025 we welcomed Director of Bands Emeritus, Stephen Pratt, back to campus to guest conduct with the IU Wind Ensemble. 

We are continuing to expand our collaboration with the IU Jacobs Composition Department. 

This year we premiered four pieces by IU composition students including Flood by Daroo Lee, A Psalm of Spark and Seed by Isaac Smith, Anatomy of a Spark by Cooper Wood, and Gust by Luca Robadey. 

We initiated a collaboration with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and this semester our graduate conductors had a chance to observe a rehearsal and meet with conductor, Jun Märkl. 

Our Marching Hundred continues to support an historic season of IU football, and will make their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1968.
