Vandal Marching Band

Support the Sound of Idaho!

We need the Vandal Marching Band to keep the music playing!

For more than 100 years, the Vandal Marching Band has been the Sound of Idaho, spreading the Vandal spirit and cheering on the Vandals to victory. The band’s infectious enthusiasm, dedication and tremendous musicianship sets the Sound of Idaho apart. The present success of the Vandal Marching Band is indebted to the generosity of the Vandal Family.   

Your contribution during Vandal Giving Day will ensure our student-musicians continue to bring the sound and beat to the Brave and Bold. Please make a gift to the Vandal Marching Band Scholarship Fund to assist band members facing financial hardships. You can also create a lasting impact through your gift to the Vandal Marching Band Excellence Fund to replace aging instruments and cover the cost of travel and other immediate needs.
