The Yale Bands
备受瞩目的耶鲁乐团
YALE CONCERT BAND
耶鲁大学室内乐团
The Yale Concert Band, the musical center for the wood wind and brass world at Yale University, is best known for its varied repertoire, which spans from traditional marches, world premieres，and crowd favorites to the music of Glenn Miller and theatrical pieces (involving black lights, a fog machine, sunglasses and the biggest clarinet you've ever seen). Recent successes for the ensemble include two sold-out performances of their recreation of the Glenn Miller Band in Woolsey Hall, a tour of Brazil in 2007，and most recently a tour in Mexico in spring 2009.
耶鲁大学室内乐团是耶鲁大学的木管乐器和铜管乐器中心，其因多变的演出节目而颇受欢迎。节目既包括传统的游行乐队，全球首映仪式，大众喜爱的节目又包括格林·米勒式的音乐和剧院曲目（涉及黑光,雾机、太阳镜和你所见过的最大的单簧管）。乐队最近的几场演出都非常成功，包括在乌希大厦举行的两场表演格林·米勒乐队的曲目， 2007年的巴西巡演以及2009年春天在墨西哥的演出。
The Yale Concert Band travels to other countries also. Besides Mexico and Brazil, recent tours have taken the YCB to Bermuda, Ireland, Spain, North Africa, Vienna, Salzburg, Prague, and St. Petersburg.

YALE PRECISION MARCHING BAND
耶鲁大学铜管仪仗乐队
The Yale Precision Marching Band, is called "the Edsel of marching bands" by the New York Times. The fall season finds them at the Yale Bowl most weekends, combining musical prowess with wildly entertaining halftime shows to cheer on their beloved Bulldogs. Come winter, the YPMB shows off its rocking tunes at Yale's hockey and basketball games. Occasionally they surface at stranger venues, from fencing to swimming, baseball and track and field. No gig is too small to be infused with that extra dose of Yale spirit. Athletic events are standard fare, but you never know where the YPMB might show up. Their travels have taken them to play for former First Lady Hillary Clinton on the steps of City Hall, to New York for the annual Greenwich Village Halloween parade (in full costume, natch), Giants Stadium, Chicago's Soldier Field, Madison Square Garden, the Olympic arena in Lake Placid, NY, and even to San Diego, CA.
耶鲁大学铜管仪仗乐队被《纽约时报》称为"游行乐队中的埃塞尔"。每年秋季都会看到周末他们用劲爆的音乐及喜剧化的中场演出来为他们喜爱的牛头犬欢呼助威。冬天的时候，这支乐队会为耶鲁的曲棍球和篮球比赛表演摇滚曲调的助威演出。 时不时地他们也会出现在一些陌生场地，像击剑、游泳或田径等地。乐队的演出总是会更加彰显耶鲁人的进取精神。为体育活动表演收费是统一标准的，而人们也从来想不到这支乐队会出现在哪里。他们曾为前第一夫人希拉里克林顿在大会堂表演过，也在纽约为一年一度的格林尼治村万圣节游行演奏过，还在巨人体育场、芝加哥的士兵场、麦迪逊花园广场、纽约州普莱西德湖奥林匹克赛场上表演，甚至还去过加利福尼亚的圣地亚哥表演。
