Hello and Welcome to GW Bands!

GW Bands is an inclusive instrumental music organization at the George Washington University dedicated to producing quality musical performances, promoting school spirit, fostering strong friendships, and serving the community.

GW Bands consists of three instrumental ensembles. There are two concert bands offered as 1-credit classes: Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band. Wind Ensemble is a smaller, select ensemble, while Symphonic Band is open to all regardless of skill level. The Foghorns Pep Band is a student organization open to all, but members are required to be enrolled in at least one of the concert ensembles. Learn more about GW Bands.
