JMU dorms

What is marching band/band camp glike at JMU? If you are a music major and you live on campus, is there a place where you can practice your instrument? (I’m assuming that playing your instrument in a dorm would be annoying to others).

I don’t know much about marching band, but I think all of the Visual and Performing Arts majors can live in Wayland Hall, which has practice rooms in the building. I have known of a couple of kids who were in the band and really loved it - they got to march in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade a few years ago, and this past Christmas they went to Italy.

Students in arts majors may apply to live in the Wayland dorm, and there are practive rooms there. There are also many practice rooms in the Music Building and the Forbes Center.
