Kentucky Wesleyan College Bands

Take a look at KWC for Music in 2025-2026 school year! Study with industry leading applied teachers, forward thinking educational pedagogy, and where entrepreneurship is weaved into each of our degree paths. KWC is small by design, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Just got back from conducting the 9/10 band at KMEA District 2 All-District Festival. Big thanks to Zach Buskill for the invite and the organization. Ryan Rue was a huge help to me during all the rehearsals, and just Lincoln Rowe’s presence made the day go by super quick.

The students were fantastic, excellent band directors in District 2. Super proud of all they accomplished.

Program today included:

Renaissance Suite - Tillman Susato
The Haunted Carousel - Erika Svanoe
Cafe 512 - Ryan George
March of the Patriots - Erik Morales

If any band directors have pictures, please post them here. I’m awful at taking pictures and self-promotion.
