Uband is graded solely on participation, but if you show up to everything you will get an A. Klingbeil runs his rehearsals well you never get to the point where you feel super bored, and the music he picks is interesting and challenging enough for the group. I would aim for him in the class again

There's a reason University Band is known as the chillest band on campus. Show up, and you get an A. Jacob was a fun conductor. Awkward humor, and a bit of a Lord of the RingsStar Wars geek, but a super great guy. Plus you get out early more often than not!
