The Wheaton College Symphonic Band strives for excellence in their performances of works for concert band written within the past century. Led by Dr. Brady McNeil, the WCSB is comprised of strictly woodwinds, brass, and percussion within their ensemble to create a sound unlike any other. Notable performances include Johan de Meij’s First Symphony “The Lord of the Rings,” Barnes’ Third Symphony (Tragic), and Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slave. Among their many achievements, the WCSB was invited to participate in the 2013 Illinois Music Education Conference and the 2014 North Central Division Conference of the College Band Directors National Association.
