The SUMB is a fantastic group of people from all over campus in every school and college.  Joining us is a wonderful way to make the transition from high school to college, or to enrich your college career if you’re already a student here.

There is no audition required to join the SUMB; you just need to have playing or spinning experience in high school.  Members of the drumline and trumpet sections will play some short excerpts (don’t worry, they’re not too hard!) to determine part placement when you get to campus for Band Camp.

We have a preseason Band Camp and will arrange for early move-in to your dorm.  Here is the general schedule overview for Band Camp 2016 (a detailed schedule is available below):

Monday, August 15: Staff and Drum Majors report to Band Camp

Wednesday, August 17: Entire Drumline, Entire Colorguard, and Wind/Brass Student Leaders report to Band Camp

Friday, August 19: Wind/Brass Rookies (new members) report to Band Camp

Saturday, August 20: Wind Brass Veterans report to Band Camp

Band Camp will go until Thursday night, August 25, where we will perform in public for the first time.
