Tiger Marching Band

2020 High Plains Marching Festival-CANCELED

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.
