To the Members of the 2020 Ball State Bands:

It’s a pleasure to welcome you to the Ball State University Band program. In these uncertain times when we’re surrounded by so much that’s unpredictable, it’s important that we maintain a sense of normalcy while looking to the future. I believe this academic year will prove to be one of our finest as we move forward together.

If you are new to the Ball State Band program, you will find many students, faculty and staff to support you throughout your academic and musical careers. I encourage you to take advantage of the numerous opportunities in the School of Music by performing in an ensemble or attending a concert. If you are a returning band member, know that you are the heart and soul of the program, already exemplifying the high standards expected of our student musicians.

This fall will be another exciting year for the “Pride of Mid-America” Marching Band (POMA). The “Pride” is an important part of the spirit and pageantry at Ball State Cardinal football games. Additional information regarding the marching band is included in this summer information packet.

One of the highlights of our concert program will be the Wind Ensemble’s performance at the prestigious College Band Directors National Association National Conference in Athens, GA. The ensemble was honored by being one of nine bands selected from a pool of thirty-seven collegiate wind ensembles. Additional highlights include a performance at The Palladium in Carmel, IN, the annual Honor Band Festival and the Fifteenth Annual BSU Wind Band Conducting Workshop with our distinguished featured clinician, Craig Kirchhoff.

Please be sure to read through the entire packet of materials if you are planning to participate in one of our concert bands. Class registration and audition information can be found on pages 16 and 17.

As always, I have high expectations for all of the BSU bands. I have no doubt the Ball State Band program will continue to improve and remain one of the most respected collegiate band programs in the United States.

Have a wonderful summer. GO CARDS!

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Thomas E. Caneva

Director of Bands

Dear Members of the 2020 edition of the “Pride of Mid-America,”

I understand it has been a difficult spring for everyone. This is why, now more than ever, the Ball State University band family is excited to introduce you to campus or welcome you back! At the time of writing this letter, we are still awaiting word from the University about the best way to enact a safe transition back to Ball State. Know that the band staff will follow all safety protocol established by our University, Muncie, and the state of Indiana for the transition back to campus. Due to this, many items outlined in the attached packet are subject to change, and will do our best to inform you of changes in a timely manner; thanks in advance for your flexibility and patience!

Now more than ever, we need to stay connected, and being together again as the Pride, in whatever form, will solidify these bonds. You will form some of your most lasting memories and friendships as part of the “Pride of Mid-America.” Together, we will continue the tradition of excellence established by our predecessors, both as good stewards of Cardinal spirit and as excellent performers!

Can you imagine the glorious celebration when we are finally able to make music together again?! We’ve got some exciting halftime shows planned for our return. We’ll take a trip back to the 1970s for a “70s Flashback” show, we’ll partner with a local animal shelter for our “Who Let the Dogs Out” show, and we’ll salute our military on November 10 (the day before Veteran’s Day) with a “Patriotic” show. We also look forward to hosting our traditional Family Day event.

In this packet, you will find information about pre-season week and our full season. Look over it carefully, and contact us if you have any questions! Be sure to visit the “Current Members” section of www.bsu.edu/poma to complete your registration for pre-season week by July 10th.

Help us spread the word about joining the Pride of Mid-America! Know any Brass/Color Guard/Drumline/Woodwind performers who are attending Ball State? Encourage them to join our band family! They simply need to enroll in the class, or call the band office for help: 765-285-9178. Stay up to date on announcements this summer through social media: @ballstatepoma.

The entire band staff looks forward to welcoming you to campus. We have high expectations for you and cannot wait to see your commitment to excellence in action! Let us know if you have questions by calling the band office at 765-285-9178 or emailing bands@bsu.edu. Enjoy your summer!

Go Cards! Chirp! Chirp!!!

Audition excerpts can be downloaded on the band website (bsu.edu/bands). They are also available in the Ensembles Office (MI-136) or from your applied professor. You must sign up for an audition time outside your applied professor’s door (for example, if you play flute, sign up for an audition time outside Dr. Watanabe’s office) If you have a conflict with your assigned audition time, please contact your applied professor and Dr. Caneva (caneva@bsu.edu) PRIOR to your scheduled time. The morning of Tuesday, August 25 will be used for make-up auditions. Please see your applied faculty member to schedule a make-up audition time. The sign-up sheet listing times available for make-up auditions will be on the Ensembles Office window (MI 136). Please be on time to your audition. Missing your audition may result in not being assigned to a major designated ensemble or assigned to a non-auditioned ensemble. Note to Wind Ensemble auditionees: Students planning to participate in Wind Ensemble need to make a two-semester commitment due to the CBDNA performance in Spring 2021. Students who need accommodations to participate in the fall only need to contact Dr. Caneva: caneva@bsu.edu. If the CBDNA conference is cancelled, the two-semester requirement will be waived; we hope to have more information by July 1, 2020.
