We will be parading around campus for Cornell Days! Come check us out! On Friday April 13th at around 12:30pm and Friday April 20th around 12:45 pm we will parade to Ho Plaza and play a concert in front of the Cornell store. Don't know where Ho Plaza is? Just follow the sound! You should be able to hear us from anywhere on central campus.
After our concert anyone is invited to parade with us back to the band room to chat about what we do and why you should join! Don't miss it!
Also be sure to save the date for our annual Spring Concert! It will be held on the Ithaca Commons at 2:00 pm on Saturday April 28th. We hope to see you there!

This year's Phonathons took place on January 30th, 2011 and February 3rd, 2011. They were both a great success, as the Big Red Marching Band raised money to support our continued operations. As usual, it was run by the Athletics Department, and managed by one of the Fundraising Chairs (Sheila Garcia). The members did an amazing job, calling alumni after alumni to support a band that has granted them much more than the gift of music. Let’s hope that next year’s Phonathons will be equally, if not more successful!
