The Yale Bands
備受矚目的耶魯樂團
YALE CONCERT BAND
耶魯大學室內樂團
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.
耶魯大學室內樂團是耶魯大學的木管樂器和銅管樂器中心，其因多變的演出節目而頗受歡迎。節目既包括傳統的游行樂隊，全球首映儀式，大眾喜愛的節目又包括格林·米勒式的音樂和劇院曲目（涉及黑光,霧機、太陽鏡和你所見過的最大的單簧管）。樂隊最近的幾場演出都非常成功，包括在烏希大廈舉行的兩場表演格林·米勒樂隊的曲目， 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.

耶魯爵士樂團是一個高標準的大樂隊，表演范圍包括原有的班尼·古德曼曲目以及當今最流行的爵士樂風格。該樂團連續五年主辦常春藤盟校的爵士音樂節并表演節目。該樂團還為梅爾·劉易斯爵士管弦樂團、L.

YALE PRECISION MARCHING BAND
耶魯大學銅管儀仗樂隊
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.
耶魯大學銅管儀仗樂隊被《紐約時報》稱為"游行樂隊中的埃塞爾"。每年秋季都會看到周末他們用勁爆的音樂及喜劇化的中場演出來為他們喜愛的牛頭犬歡呼助威。冬天的時候，這支樂隊會為耶魯的曲棍球和籃球比賽表演搖滾曲調的助威演出。 時不時地他們也會出現在一些陌生場地，像擊劍、游泳或田徑等地。樂隊的演出總是會更加彰顯耶魯人的進取精神。為體育活動表演收費是統一標準的，而人們也從來想不到這支樂隊會出現在哪里。他們曾為前第一夫人希拉里克林頓在大會堂表演過，也在紐約為一年一度的格林尼治村萬圣節游行演奏過，還在巨人體育場、芝加哥的士兵場、麥迪遜花園廣場、紐約州普萊西德湖奧林匹克賽場上表演，甚至還去過加利福尼亞的圣地亞哥表演。
