Join the Band!

Fill out the Javelina Marching Band Registration Form to receive information and updates about the 2016 season. Only those who intend to participate in marching band should submit this form. 

Once you have registered on this website, your name will be given to the residence halls for early check-in.  If you have an apartment, you do not have to stay in the dorms.  Know that the room you receive for camp will likely be different than your permanent room for the year, and you will probably have to move after camp is over.

Know that you will also need to register for the class.  The class number is MUSI 1127 (for first and second year students).  You will register for this class when you register for the rest of your classes.

The show will be available for download June 1st.  There will be a password given to you to enable you to download.
