Concert Choir

The Waynesburg University Lamplighter Concert Choir is open to any Waynesburg University student, staff or faculty member. No audition is required to be a member of this choral group. While considered a co-curricular activity, Concert Choir may also be taken as a one-credit class (MUS 207) in fulfillment of the three credits required in fine arts. The choir rehearses twice a week and sings for several chapels each semester.

Touring Choir

The Waynesburg University Lamplighter Touring Choir finds great joy in sharing and encouraging all people in the Good News of Jesus Christ through choral music, personal testimony and community service work. The Lamplighters present choral music from a variety of genres including classical, contemporary Christian, gospel and spiritual repertoires. The mission of the Lamplighters is to testify, edify, and exemplify a unified Faith in Jesus Christ through music, song and community service.

Please contact us through the concert request form to schedule a concert and/or a community service project with the Lamplighters in your church or organization.

 Symphonic Band

The Waynesburg University Symphonic Band is at the center of the instrumental program. The band meets twice a week.  Band is offered as an academic course, but many members choose a commitment to this ensemble strictly for the beautification of their lives.

Chamber Ensembles

Several small ensembles are based on student interest during the course of each semester. Transcriptions for a variety of instrumental combinations, including strings, are at the heart of the Waynesburg University music program. Jazz Jamz provides jazz combo experience for rhythm section players, as well as for solo vocalists and instrumentalists. This group and others like it have opportunities to perform at chamber ensemble concerts and chapel programs on campus, as well as at area civic events and churches off campus.

Athletic Bands

The Waynesburg University pep bands for football and basketball have been brought back for the 2011-2012 fall and spring semesters.






Applied Lessons

Waynesburg offers applied lessons for all voice, woodwind, brass, and percussion students. Piano and guitar are also offered for college credit, and both studios show growth each semester. Many students choose these 25-minute, once-a-week lessons as a part of their liberal arts program.
