SEMO Bands
Let your talent shine: find your fearless. 
In SEMO Bands, you can express your musical interests in both large and small ensemble settings alongside other SEMO students. Many of the finest musicians on campus perform in these ensembles, and a significant number of your fellow performers are non–music majors.
Marching Band
The Southeast Marching Band is the largest student group on campus and a big part of SEMO tradition. This group plays at all home football games, campus events, parades, and high school festivals. Known for energy and skill, the marching band has played at Super Bowl V, in Scotland twice, and at major band events in Indianapolis and St. Louis. Open to all majors, the marching band offers a fun musical and social experience.
Drumline and Front Ensemble
Perform with SEMO's marching band drumline percussion section or front ensemble instruments at games and competitions. Learn marching percussion techniques and rehearse with the marching band to prepare for performances each fall.
Show Band
The Southeast Show Band is a pep band that brings energy to basketball games and campus events. This select group plays exciting versions of popular, rock, and funk music. With a focus on fun and great music, the Show Band gives high-energy performances.
Jazz Band
Southeast's Jazz Band offers two groups: Studio Band and Lab Band . Studio Band needs prior jazz experience, solo experience and doubling skills for saxophone. Lab Band welcomes all students who want to improve their jazz playing. Both groups bring exciting music to the University!
Concert Band
The University Concert Band welcomes students from all majors to play many types of wind music. No audition is needed, but students are placed by skill level. Many non-music majors play in this group, and senior music education majors get to lead and conduct this group as part of their training.
Wind Symphony
The Southeast Wind Symphony is our top wind and percussion group. These college musicians play advanced music, from classic pieces to new works. The Wind Symphony often plays premier works and has been invited to perform at major events. They go on tours, work with guest artists, and play with faculty soloists.
