The "Pride of the Orange" performs for all home games in the 50,000 seat Carrier Dome. The band occasionally takes one regular season trip and travels to every continental post-season bowl game. The two-hundred member band is made up of students representing all majors throughout the University and provides action and excitement for participants and audiences alike. The SUMB is one of the finest university marching band programs in the nation and the flagship college band in the state of New York! If you have played a wind or percussion instrument in your high school band, we invite you to join! If you are currently a member of your high school band, you do not need to audition. The only requirement is attendance at band camp the week before classes start. The only additional requirements are maximum effort, total involvement, and dedication to excellence!!! Rehearsal times are scheduled at the end of the day when there are few conflicts with other classes and activities. The are held, with rare exceptions, in the Carrier Dome. This makes us the only college band in the northeast with an indoor rehearsal facility. Excellent seats in the Dome place the "Pride" in the center of action at every home game!
