Marching 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, including several local and regional parades. Not being locked into a football schedule, the Band has much more flexibility to make creative decisions about its performance venues and its musical selections. This also allows the band to have a shorter season than most other programs. The Marching Season is typically finished by the first week in November which results in minimal overlap with the Pep Band schedule.
