Alumni

There are many ways to stay connected with the UConn Marching Band.

UCMB alumni take the field before each Homecoming football game. We provide the music, so you can practice in advance, and schedule drill. Look for the registration each year!

We also schedule days on campus, a Run for the Band, networking events, and more.

Give back to UCMB and support our current members.

“I came to UConn because I’ve heard so many great things about UConn. My high school Band teacher went to UConn and spoke great things about it. When I came up to visit and shadow a student, I saw the countless possibilities and opportunities right before me and thought I could thrive the best here compared to other schools,” says graduating senior Bryan Carrera ’22 (ED).
