    All ensembles are open to all students regardless of major. Performing ensembles serve three distinct purposes: (1) they provide music majors with the ensemble participation necessary for successful completion of their music degree; (2) they provide those not majoring in music an enjoyable outlet, the experience of self-expression, and the social development that results from participation in a group activity; (3) they serve as valuable public relations agents for the College, and for this reason, students have the opportunity to travel and perform at a variety of functions. A great way to get involved at Temple College is to become a member of one of the performing ensembles. All music majors and minors are required to participate in a minimum of one major ensemble during each semester they are in residence. All ensembles may be repeated for credit. Maximum of 8 credits each.
