DVC Instrumental Music Wants You!
The Diablo Valley College Instrumental Music Department would like everyone who plays an instrument
(or played an instrument in high school) to take a look at our HUGE number of course offer.
The new daily schedule format allows for Wind Ensemble (Band) and Chamber Ensembles (Woodwind,
Brass, Percussion, and String) to meet at 8:00 a.m. on an alternating Monday/Wednesday, Tuesday/Thursday
basis respectively. This allows the greatest freedom for students who wish to continue their music
studies while completing core requirements later in the day.
The DVC Philharmonic, under the direction of
Maestro Owen Lee,
will continue to meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-9:50.
The DVC Symphonic Band, under the direction of
Maestro Monte Bairos,
will continue to meet on Thursday evenings from 7:00-9:50.
Performance opportunities are numerous. For a full schedule of upcoming events please see the
DVC Music Performance Calendar and
