Crisp autumn temperatures, birds chirping on campus, and perfectly clear skies to start week six here at WCU! Thanks to all of the students, faculty, and staff who are working so hard to keep us healthy and together on campus!

We’re excited about leading this project! Check it out and consider supporting if you can!

I believe in this project, its mission, and the people involved in it SO SO MUCH! I hope you’ll consider supporting us as we try to get over the finish line!

Christmas in May??? Thanks to our admin for the awesome new gear, especially during uncertain times! Amazing new stuff from @PearlDrumCorp @blackswamp and @ZildjianCompany courtesy of @SteveWeissMusic - They’re all THE BEST!

With no access to practice rooms, and all of our students at home, we gotta get creative! We’ll be sharing some of the solutions that our awesome students come up with, and we’d love to see yours too! Tag us and use #nopracticeroomnoproblem so we can see what you’re up to!

Great playing by the Wind Ensemble Percussion section tonight, and the old guy in the middle did his best to keep up with these youngsters!

We know a guy who’s doing a thing tomorrow... Come see Dr. Groh and the Wind Ensemble on Friday at 7:30pm in Bardo!
