MARCHING BAND
The 300-member University of Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hen Marching Band focuses on being a visually
innovative musical performance ensemble. Our halftime productions are corps-style, incorporating
contemporary show design, as well as entertainment value.
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
The University of Delaware Department of Music offers the graduate degree Master of Music, with a
concentration in either Performance (emphasizing studio instruction, and culminating in a public recital) or
Teaching (directed towards music educators in grades K-12 who desire a Masters degree in this discipline).
Music study at Delaware is enriched by the well-equipped and modern facilities in the Amy E. du Pont Music
Building, with its large rehearsal rooms, practice rooms and Loudis Recital Hall. The Roselle Center for the Arts
adjacent to the Amy E. du Pont Music Building provides performance spaces for recitals and chamber music,
ensemble/rehearsal rooms, and many additional practice rooms. An excellent collection of scores, books and
music journals is housed in the University’s Morris Library.
APPLICATION
Send a letter of application, resume, and three (3) letters of recommendation (one of which must be the applicant’s college band director) to:
Heidi I. Sarver, Director
