Pictures not enough?
More information can be found on our main webpage. There you can find current events in the band, our season schedule, bandstaph bios, fun facts, a few songs that we have recorded, etc. - everything you could possibly want to know, and more. We also have a Wikipedia page!
And if it's the Big Red Marching Band's history that interests you, here's a quick link to a brief overview of the past 125 years. Close by you can also find a copy of our constitution, memorable stories from the past, and descriptions of the traditions which are so important to us.
