Thank you for your interest in making a gift to Rice University Bands. A gift of any amount can greatly impact our students’ experience.
A gift to the Rice University Bands Gift Fund provides support for The MOB, the Jazz Big Band, the Jazz Combo, Chamber Music for non-Music Majors, and the Rice Symphonic Band.
A gift to the Jazz Ensemble Gift Fund provides support for the Jazz Big Band and the Jazz Combo. Jazz Big Band is a challenging opportunity to play contemporary Jazz in a large group setting. Jazz Combo performs contemporary Jazz in a smaller group setting that allows for improvisation. Course credit is available for both ensembles.
A gift to the Marching Owls Gift Fund provides support for rehearsal, training, travel, and performances by The MOB.
A gift to the Rice Bands Endowment provides permanent support for Rice University Bands.
A gift to the Rebecca Margaret Pollard-Grayson Scholarship provides permanent support for a merit scholarship for an undergraduate student, with a preference for a student who is a member of The MOB.
