Symphonic Band


Director: Dr. Michael Eckerty

The Simpson College Symphonic Band provides a quality musical experience for both non majors and majors. Directed by Michael Eckerty, the ensemble performs the classic wind literature as well as the great marches.  The Symphonic Band gives a formal concert each semester. Emphasis is placed on solid musicianship, good tone quality, and a commitment to the ensemble.

They perform on and off campus and tour biennially. In May, 2007, the Simpson College Band performed as the college Honor Band at the 2007 Iowa Bandmasters Conference held at the Fort Des Moines Hotel in Des Moines, Iowa.
