Brass Band
The JSU Brass Band, in only their second month of existence, competed in the Third Section of the 2022 North America Brass Band Association Championships and placed fourth (missing third place by a quarter of a point). In April of 2023, it again competed in the Third Section of the NABBA Championships, this time winning the section with a score of 91.5. The JSUBB was chosen to perform at the 2025 Alabama Music Educators Association Professional Development Conference, the first brass band to ever perform at AMEA.
In November of 2025 in Seattle, Washington, the JSU Brass Band was the featured ensemble at the Western International Band Clinic, an annual event that hosts honor bands for high schoolers from as far away as Australia. As with its performance at AMEA, it was the first brass band performance ever at WIBC.
Membership is selected by audition and is not limited to music majors.
