Kentucky Intercollegiate Band

Wind Band Music in the Bluegrass State

Founded in 1985 by college and university band directors from across the Commonwealth, the Kentucky Intercollegiate Band (KIB) brings together top wind and percussion students from institutions throughout the state. Each year, selected participants come together to rehearse and perform exceptional wind band literature under the direction of a distinguished guest conductor. More than just an honor ensemble, the KIB highlights the talent and dedication found in Kentucky’s college and university band programs, and celebrates our shared pursuit of musical excellence.

The Intercollegiate Band is sponsored by the Kentucky College Band Directors Association (KCBDA). KCBDA is a division of the Kentucky Music Educators Association, within the National Association for Music Education.
