What our students say

Welcome!

Hello!  My name is Dr. Curran Prendergast, Director of Bands at Truman, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to the newly designed Truman Bands website.  Our website exists to provide a wide range of information about all of our tremendous band ensembles to alumni, current and prospective students.  It is a point of pride that we offer a full array of collegiate ensembles that are of such high quality.  Our program brings musicians from all around campus to participate in one of our remarkable groups that include the Wind Symphony, Concert Band, Statesmen Marching Band, and the Truman Pep Band.  If you have any questions regarding auditions for ensembles or scholarships, our graduate conducting program, arranging a campus visit, or anything at all, please submit your information here and I will get in touch with you shortly.
Sincerely,
Curran Prendergast
