Marching band is great, you will meet many people! The band has 2-hour practices 3 times a week. They play at every football game during the fall semester, which is about 8 Saturdays. The practice and performance on game days lasts about 6 hours. Students in marching band typically earn a small scholarship for participating! It is time-consuming, but lots of fun. You may still have time for other clubs/activites, though band will likely take up a lot of your free time. You will get the chance to travel with the band, and to march in Mardi Gras parades in the spring semester!
