For an overview of the ensembles we offer, please visit the ensembles page.
To join the marching band, all students must complete a Commitment Form and be ready to attend all band camp dates in August. Students should also enroll in the marching band course. Contact your advisor to add MULB 1075 to your schedule. More info can be found on our Marching Band page. Additionally, marching band participation is not limited to full time students. Contact Dr. Shannon at eshannon@lamar.edu if you will not be a full-time LU student but wish to perform in the marching band.
To join one or more of these ensembles, students take part in a relaxed audition process at the beginning of the Fall semester. Audition details are typically announced in mid-July each year.
