Hi CSU Marching Band Members!

Can you believe it’s already time to get ready for marching band again? Coming off of a successful season with yet another bowl game appearance, we look forward to supporting our CSU Football team in our BRAND NEW ON-CAMPUS STADIUM! This is going to be a historic year as we participate in our stadium’s inaugural season. With a brand new game day experience we need all of you, along with your energy and enthusiasm, to get the crowd pumped up and to cheer on our Rams to victory!

Thanks to the continued generosity of our CSU administration, if you are a full time student with a cumulative 2.8 GPA at the beginning of fall semester (2017), you will receive the following award (total amount):

2nd year - $1300
3rd year - $1500
4th year - $1700

If you do not meet the criteria, you will still receive the base award of $500. We are so grateful for the support we have from the administration in the College of Liberal Arts, School of Music Theatre, and Dance, and the University as a whole!

One more thing to save some confusion: If you were a woodwind or brass member last year, you don’t need to re-audition if you are performing on the same instrument. All new members, all drumline and colorguard, and all returning members who are switching instruments will audition live on June 10. ALL RETURNING MEMBERS SHOULD FILL OUT THIS REGISTRATION FORM (not the new-member audtion form).

You need to fill out your commitment form by no later than June 9.

Thanks to you, the reputation and quality of the CSU Marching Band continues to grow. Our performances in our fourth straight bowl game, the 9News Parade of Lights, and the CBA Regionals all received great feedback from our fans last year! I hope you’ll be part of the historic 2017 season as we continue to make this a world-class band.

GO RAMS!
