For over a century, the Auburn University Marching Band has captivated audiences across the nation with spectacular performances. Whether playing before the home crowd or away, the Auburn Band has attained a position of national distinction and a reputation for excellence second to none. Band members represent virtually every school and curriculum on the Auburn campus. The Auburn University Marching Band was the 2004 recipient of the Sudler Intercollegiate Marching Band Trophy. Established by the John Philip Sousa Foundation, this award is presented annually to a bane “…which has made important contributions to the advancement of the performance standards of college marching bands over a number of years.” This year’s band is the largest ever, with 380 members.
The Auburn University Chamber Choir is the newest choir in the music department. They are an auditioned group of 50 students representing voice majors and various other academic areas throughout the campus.
