Why marching band?
The marching band community is a welcoming one, and anyone who joins soon becomes a part of our diverse and supportive student network. Through band, students are able to bond with each other via rehearsals, retreats, and our many events over the course of the season. They not only develop instrumental skills, but also learn the importance of teamwork, as well as what it takes to produce an entire field show. (Plus, you’ll get some PE credit* out of it!)
But don’t just take our word for it:
*Not available for freshmen
