WELCOME TO NAVARRO COLLEGE BANDS!
The Navarro College Bands, under the direction of Dr. Joshua Buckrucker, welcomes you to a musical experience in its 79th year. What began with just nine members has since evolved into a dynamic program of over 100 students, featuring high level performing ensembles in Concert, Marching, Jazz and Chamber music.
Take a moment to read a short history of the Navarro College Bands.
The Sound of Navarro enthusiastically invites all students, regardless of academic major, to participate in one or more of our bands. Auditions for Wind Ensembles, Sound of Navarro, Jazz, Choir, and Color Guard are scheduled throughout the semester. It is recommended that you check our webpage periodically for audition dates.
If you are a prospective student, regardless of your major, schedule, or ability level, rest assured that there is a place for you in our Navarro College Bands family.
