Participation Info
All musicians can join the marching band, regardless of the marching experience! Auditions for the color guard, battery, and front ensemble are typically held each August before the start of band camp. There are no auditions for the winds and brass, though part placement auditions may be held. The Marching Band follows the strict Code of Conduct rules adopted by the University.
While most of our members are students at Sac State, we also draw members from other local colleges. If you are not a Sac State student, you need to be approved as a University Volunteer prior to joining us. This process is outlined on the School of Music Community Info page.

Enrollment/participation in University ensembles requires paying the School of Music's $40 Service Fee, which helps pay for supplies used by various areas in the department. It also entitles you to:
- borrow an instrument for the semester (if needed),
- the usage of a locker in Capistrano Hall, and
- use of the practice rooms (for Sac State students only)
- free admission to many School of Music events (for Sac State students only)
You may also be required to pay a Marching Band Club membership fee.
