Information about our Band Day
The UofL Cardinal Marching Band “Band Day” provides an opportunity for high school band directors and their community (students and parents) to see a collegiate marching band and football team at their best. Each year, hundreds of students perform with the CMB at Cardinal Stadium, home of a major NCAA Division 1 football and marching band program. The event starts 5 hours prior to kick-off and includes observing a CMB rehearsal in Cardinal Stadium, food, and admission to the game. Students will also have the opportunity to perform at half-time! Other special performances by the CMB will include Card March and Pre-Game. Participants must bring their instrument, copy of music, and a bag lunch or money for concessions. Music will be provided after registration is complete. T-Shirts for student participants will be provided upon arrival.
We will contact participating schools concerning registration, bus parking, stadium directions, and other information throughout the Fall season.
