Music Major at UMD

<p>My son is applying as an OOS music major. I am wondering what the social scene, etc. is like for music majors? We have not visitied yet - so I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks!</p>

<p>What kind of music major? (i.e. is Marching Band part of the plan?) If so, I know that they are a very close-knit group, especially since they start practicing before everyone else gets on campus. (Terp80’s D is in marching band, I think). </p>

<p>I don’t know if there is anyone else who posts here on a regular basis who is a music major (or the parent of one at UMD). I do know from seeing the daily UMD calendar on umd.com, that it seems like there are music events throughout the week, every week. I would think that it would be easy to find those people who share the same interests and talents…if he’s interested in UMD, and he could find someone through one of the visits (or auditions) that he’d be interested in rooming with, I’d probably suggest that, too.</p>
