SWU graduate tops in USC band
Wesley Day earned one of the highest incoming theory scores for graduate students, doctorals included. He also walked into first chair in the top jazz band at the University of South Carolina, where he is working on his MM in composition degree. “I could not have done either without the unswerving dedication of my teachers at SWU to my musical advancement and am proud to champion SWU's banner in a larger institution such as this,” Day said. “Also, several students who regularly participated in SWU's summer jazz program are here and have done exceptionally well in their jazz work thus far, including a couple of seats in the same band as I.”
