Marching Band / Pep Band

The BU Marching Band has come a long way from the 30 piece all male ROTC band that was created in 1920. The current Band is a corps style band with a large wind block, drum line, front ensemble (pit) and color guard.

The band performs numerous exhibition field shows all over New England as well as local and regional parades. Not being locked into a football schedule, the Band has much more flexibility in its creative decisions regarding performance venues and musical selections. This also allows for the band to have a shorter season than most other programs. The Marching Season is typically finished by the first week in November and allows for minimal overlapping schedules with the Pep Band.

After marching season, the Marching Band goes inside and transforms into the Pep Band. The BU Pep Band is the powerful driving force behind the spirit and fan ritual at all home men’s hockey and men’s & women’s basketball games. Boasting over one hundred members, this band provides a high-energy way to stay involved in the athletic band program during the spring semester. Because the teams are perennial contenders, the band has many opportunities for travel to conference and NCAA tournaments.
