Marching Band Rankings in Colleges?

I'm in my school's marching band now, and I want to keep that going in college. Any thoughts on schools with solid marching band programs?

Sure, there are several colleges known for having strong marching band programs. Three programs that I would recommend looking into are the University of Michigan's Michigan Marching Band, Ohio State University's The Ohio State University Marching Band, and University of Texas's Longhorn Band.

1. The University of Michigan Marching Band is known for its pre-game and halftime performances during all Michigan football home games, as well as for its appearances at various other sports games and events. The marching band is a class that you can take for credit, and auditions typically take place during the summer before the school year starts.

2. Ohio State University's Marching Band is one of the oldest in the country and is well-known for their innovative and technically demanding halftime shows, often featuring intricate animations or formations. Like Michigan, this is also a class you can take for credit.

3. The University of Texas Longhorn Band is also known for their distinct marching style and halftime shows. The band plays at all home football games and travels to one away game each season. Members of the band receive scholarships, and there are additional performance opportunities in smaller ensembles.

Remember, when you're choosing a college, make sure to consider all aspects of the school, including academic programs, campus culture, location, and financial cost. But if marching band is a big part of your life and something you want to continue in college, these programs could be a great fit.
