University Bands
“The Campaign for the Twenty-First Century allowed the University Bands program to create opportunities for students in many ways. Campaign Arkansas now has the potential to be transformational as well, in terms of the educational programs available to students and the potential for service to the university and the state of Arkansas. It is a great pleasure and honor for me to be associated with this outstanding group of staff and students and to have the chance to serve them and the entire university community as part of the campaign.”
- David Woolly (B.S.E. ’72, M.Ed. ’77), Committee Chair
