We will be parading around campus for Cornell Days! Come check us out! On Saturday April 11th and Tuesday April 14th we will depart Barton Hall around 12 pm, 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 from 3-4 pm on Saturday April 25th. We hope to see you there! If you can't make it to any of our concerts this month then feel free to stop by our rehearsal at Barton Hall from 9-11 pm on April 21st. We'd love to meet you!
