New Members
Interested in joining WSU Athletics Bands? We'd love to have you in our ranks. In order to participate, you must first register in MUA 2804 (1 credit) or MUA 0804 (0 credit). We do not audition for band participation. Anyone with high school marching experience is welcomed and encouraged to participate in the marching band. Our elite basketball pep band is a 25 member auditioned ensemble. Priority is given based upon musicianship and dedication to the band. Please email Dr. James Fusik, Director of Athletic Bands, at jfusik@wayne.edu if you are interested in joining.
