Performing Arts: Reiland Fine Arts Center

Music

The UJ Department of Music features performing ensembles in which students may participate. These groups are the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Big Orange Pep Band, Drum Line, Chamber Orchestra, Percussion Ensemble, Concert Choir, and Chapel Choir. Additional small ensembles, both instrumental and vocal, provide opportunities for students to diversify their musical experiences.

You may participate in any of the instrumental ensembles. Please sign up for a meeting during Welcome Weekend on the band room door in Reiland to receive a locker and information about the ensembles. The Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band tour nationally and the Wind Ensemble travels internationally every four years.

The Concert Choir is a mixed a cappella choir and requires an audition which can be scheduled during Welcome Weekend or by making an appointment with the Choir Director. The Chapel Choir is a women’s ensemble and is open to all students without an audition.

The music department also offers private lessons, on a limited basis, to non-music majors. Please see the Department Chair for more details.

Theatre

UJ provides opportunities for students to participate in main stage productions, as well as student productions, in the Reiland Fine Arts Center. Students of any major may be cast in productions and also have opportunities to work on-stage or backstage.
