About

The Experience

Membership brings the rewards of camaraderie and lifetime friendships. Performing in the UB Marching Band is a great way to find your ‘niche’ in a very large university. With the national and international reach of our university, our members build a "family" and enjoy a community of peers who become a support system in and out of the classroom.
