Vandal Marching Band
Sassy Sousaphones (aka The Tubas)

I-D-A-H-O! Idaho! Idaho! Go, Go, Go!

With more than 230 members, the 2016 Vandal Marching Band is the largest in our history. The “Sound of Idaho” are ambassadors for the university with performances at athletic contests and events throughout the state and region.  

Now, the band needs YOUR help to keep the music playing. Section by section, we’re updating our instruments, and it’s time to repair and replace the tubas. Help us give those sassy sousaphones a tune-up, so that they can continue to represent the pride of the North and spirit of the Vandals.

Shape the future of the Vandal Marching Band by giving today! 

The Vandal Marching Band is a proud tradition of the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences. Learn More...

Over 36 hours, the Brave and Bold rallied together to help shape the future for our students and our great university. We extend a heartfelt thank you, and congratulations for our collective accomplishment. Go Vandals!
