The Cobber Echo Band
Making its original appearance at Concordia College in the fall of 1899, the Echo Band was Concordia's first campus concert band. Returning to Concordia in the fall of 2009, the Concordia Echo Band is a non-auditioned based concert band that brings together interested students from across the campus. Rehearsals take place weekly on Sunday afternoons, and culminate each semester with a concert that is free and open to the public.
The Echo Band is led by Concordia Director of Bands Dr. Scott A. Jones and a team of student directors. The student directors are selected through an annual application and interview process that occurs each spring semester for the following academic year. Typically, the student directors are music education majors in their final two semesters of education at Concordia. The Cobber Echo Band student directors for 2010-11 are Alyssa Bolstad '11, Levi Kimmet '11, Jeffrey Marquardt '11, and Gertrude Sommerfeld '11.
