The Golden Eagles Band Day is an event that invites high school marching band students—winds/brass/percussion—to be VIP guests of the Golden Eagle Marching Band for a day. Students will participate in rehearsal and perform in the stands and on the field alongside the GEMB. This event gives students an opportunity to experience what it’s like to be a member of a university marching band.

This year’s inaugural Band Day will take place on Saturday, October 15, 2022 during our home game against Tennessee State University. Students will be given a commemorative Band Day T-shirt which is to be worn by all participating students. Bottled waters will be provided but all other meals will be at the expense of the participant. We sincerely hope you’ll plan to join us for this exciting event!
