University Concert Band The University Concert Band at the Pacific Conservatory of Music comprises students who represent music majors, minors, and non-majors from across the university. The ensemble performs literature written for a full wind band setting drawn from contemporary, transcription, and classic band repertoire.

The Concert Band performs four concerts each academic year, including collaborations with composers and high school bands. During the 2021-22 season, the ensemble will perform works by Carol Brittin Chambers, Katahj Copley, Viet Cuong, Kelijah Dunton, Roger Zare, and consortium premieres of works by Allison Loggins-Hull and Catherine Likhuta. Membership is open to all Pacific students.

Symphonic Wind Ensemble The Symphonic Wind Ensemble at the Pacific Conservatory of Music comprises students who represent a majority of music degree programs in the Conservatory. The ensemble performs at least four concerts each academic year. It provides students the opportunity to play a broad range of music for winds, brass, percussion, and keyboards drawn from a repertoire that honors the rich history of the past and looks to the future. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble has performed at Carnegie Hall, recorded at Skywalker Sound, and performed at the California All-State Music Education Conference and the Western International Band Clinic. Recent collaborations with composers include Viet Cuong, Jennifer Jolley, Giovanni Santos, Alex Shapiro, Ingrid Stölzel, and James Syler.
