Join us for the 2024 High School Band Day when WMU faces off against the Akron University Zips in Waldo Stadium on Saturday, October 12! Band Day Participants will spend a day in the life of the Bronco Marching Band. They will rehearse, march to the stadium, perform at halftime and participate in all the pageantry that is a college football gameday. Band Day is open to all high school marching band woodwind, brass, drumline, color guard, and twirler students. The cost per student is $20 and is non-refundable. (Pay here)
Each participant receives admission to the game and will perform with the BMB throughout the day. A boxed lunch is included.
