On WGOW’s Jed & JR Mornings, UTC Director of Bands Randall Coleman highlighted the program’s surge since his 2021 arrival—from 30 musicians to 140. He explained tryouts, rehearsal expectations, and the commitment required to perform at a high level. The marching band draws students from all majors; it’s an academic course that meets three times weekly. Music majors also take a weekly one-hour lesson. Coleman leaned on his contacts as a high school band director for 25 years to help it grow. >>>Listen>>>
