To the Members of the 2021-22 Ball State Bands:
It’s always a pleasure to write to the members (and future members) of the Ball State University Bands and
welcome them to our band program. The Ball State Bands have a long and rich tradition of outstanding musical
performances in the concert hall, as well as athletic venues. I’m certain that the time you spend in the BSU Band
program will be both musically challenging and rewarding.
Below, you will find information regarding membership in the “Pride of Mid-America” Marching Band, as well as
audition information for the BSU Concert Ensembles. Participation in all of our bands is open to all students on the
BSU campus. If you have friend who might not be a music major but would like to participate in a band at Ball
State, please pass this information along to them. Our ensembles are open to all students regardless of their major.
If you are a new member of the band, please understand that the entire band staff looks forward to meeting you and
eagerly anticipates your participation in our band program. We hope you will make the Music Instruction Building
your musical home-away-from-home while at BSU. If you are a returning band member, it is especially nice to
welcome you back for another year. As a continuing band member, you are the backbone of the program.
This promises to be a sensational year for the “Pride of Mid-America” Marching Band, as well as all the athletic
bands. Last year’s band was absolutely terrific. When one considers the obstacles created due to the pandemic, it
was amazing to see how hard the members of the marching band worked to achieve their goals. I have no doubt that
the 2021 edition of POMA will be the best ever and provide energy and spirit for the Cardinals.
The BSU Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony, Symphony Band, and Campus Band will continue to provide
numerous opportunities for our students to display their musical artistry in performances on and off the Ball State
campus. As usual, we will host a number of the nation’s most outstanding guest conductors and artists at our
performances in beautiful Sursa Hall. Additionally, we will host the sixteenth annual BSU Wind Band Conducting
Workshop in February. A highlight of the year will be the Wind Ensemble’s appearance at the 87th Convention of
the American Bandmasters Association in March. The BSWE will have the opportunity to perform for many of the
leading conductors and composers from throughout the United States at the convention.
As always, I have high expectations for all the BSU bands. As with any fine organization, the success of our
program is directly dependent upon a commitment to excellence by the staff and students. We look forward to the
musically enriching opportunities that lie ahead and the chance to work with you as a member of the band program.
Again, welcome to the Ball State University band program. Have a great summer, and GO CARDS!
Warm Regards,
Dr. Thomas Caneva
Director of Bands

June 1, 2021,
Dear Members of the 2021 edition of the “Pride of Mid-America,”
The Ball State University band family is excited to introduce you to campus or welcome you back for a
great year! You will form some of your most lasting memories and friendships as part of the “Pride of
Mid-America.” My name is Dr. Hand, and I am honored to serve as your director. Together, we will
continue the tradition of excellence established by our predecessors, both as good stewards of Cardinal
spirit and as excellent performers!
We are so pleased to begin to return to some sense of normalcy! While plans are still being finalized with
athletics and we are awaiting some protocol instructions from the University, you can be sure that the
Pride of Mid-America will be heard loud and clear this fall at all home football games! We’ve got lots of
great shows planned and can’t wait to get our traditional Pregame show on the field after a year’s hiatus!
Stay up to date on announcements this summer through social media (run by our AMAZING public
relations team!!!): @ballstatepoma.
I know we have all missed Band Camp! In this packet, you will find all the information you need about
pre-season week and our full season. Look over it very carefully, and contact me if you have any
questions! Be sure to visit www.bsu.edu/poma to complete your registration for pre-season week by July

who are attending Ball State? Encourage them to join our band family! They simply need to enroll in the
class: MUSC 340 2D, or call the band office for help: 765-285-3258.
The entire band staff looks forward to welcoming you to campus. We have high expectations for you and
cannot wait to see your commitment to excellence in action! Let us know if you have questions by
