GT Band: Celebrating 100 Years &
Going to New York

We're excited—there's a real buzz around the Georgia Tech campus this fall as our Yellow Jacket Marching Band prepares for its first appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade®. This year the Marching Band is turning 100, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our first century than by performing in the world-famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade®.

About the Music Department

The Georgia Tech Music Department strives to transform traditional academic and conservatory instruction and performance to an environment that combines innovative research and technology with the art of music. The Department aspires to create interdisciplinary academic programs integrating creative self-expression, scientific knowledge, and technical expertise, enriching the intellectual and cultural life of the campus, community, and profession.
 

More than 1100 Tech students sing, play or study music each semester - at a university that offers no undergraduate degree in Music. They'll be from every major on campus, and from many nations around the world. Some will take just one course, enjoying the unique experience of sharing music with other human beings. Some will thirst for even more, and will pursue a Music Certificate or Music Minor.

Sonic Generator

Georgia Tech's ensemble in residence, jointly organized by the Music Department and the GVU Center. Sonic Generator presents three concerts each year that explore the ways in which technology is reshaping contemporary musical composition, performance, and listening. The six members are among the most talented chamber musicians in Atlanta; many of them are members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Georgia Tech faculty and students work closely with the ensemble to develop and produce the technology for each performance. http://www.sonicgenerator.gatech.edu
