Tiger Marching Band
2022 Band Camp Info
2022 High Plains Marching Festival
It's just not a football game at FHSU without the roaring thunder and spirit of the Tiger Marching Band! Made up of approximately 100 students from all academic disciplines, the band has a long tradition of excellence in service to the university. The Tiger Marching Band is one of the largest and most popular student groups on campus. Fans love our traditional pre-game show, our innovative halftime shows, and our spirit in the stands as we cheer the Tiger Football team onto victory!
All Marching Band members earn a stipend starting at $500. Additional stipends are available for student leaders.
Non-music major instrumentalists are also eligible for an extra $200 from the Miller Award.
All students, regardless of major, are also encouraged to audition for scholarships available through the Department of Music and Theatre.

Be a Tiger for a Day!
Are you interested in checking out the FHSU Tiger Marching Band? If so, the Be a Tiger for a Day program is just for you! You can attend any FHSU home game, warm up with the band, march over to the stadium, play with the band during our tailgate show, play in the stands during the game, and watch the pregame and halftime shows from the sideline. Come experience what being in a college marching band is all about. Music can be sent to you ahead of time so that you can practice. We’d love for you to join us!
