| Membership in the Diamond Bands is open, by audition,
to students from across campus, regardless of major. Each year,
many of the Diamond Band members come from majors outside the
College of Music. Auditions are scheduled by appointment, and
may often take place during testing or orientation times. |
Temple University has long recognized the many talents and contributions
of its student musicians. As a result, the Temple University
Band program is pleased to have an innovative scholarship program
for students who perform in the Diamond Marching Band. |
Scholarships are in the form of tuition
remission and may be awarded to any student (including band
front) accepted for membership in the Marching Band, regardless
of academic major in the University.
|
|
In addition, students may be eligible for additional scholarship
if they are selected to perform with the Basketball Pep
Band. Instruments are available for use while a student
is a member of the Diamond Band. Further information may
be obtained by contacting the Band Office.
As a course in the Esther Boyer College of Music, students
may receive academic credit for participation
in the marching and concert bands. All rehearsal and performance
schedules are carefully arranged so as not to interfere
with normal class schedules, remaining sensitive to college
life.

Membership in the Diamond Bands provides Temple students
with an opportunity to continue their musical activities and
growth while serving as an excellent way to meet classmates
and develop lasting friendships.
