Marching Band

The 鈥淪pirit of the Stadium,鈥� the Bulldog Marching Band primarily performs at pregame and halftime for home varsity football games. One of the more exciting small-college marching bands in the land, the 六九色堂 Bulldog Marching Band welcomes all members with previous music experience. Drumline, color guard and twirling teams have a limited amount of additional rehearsal time. We take great pride in presenting high-quality shows that display our strong brass and woodwind sections, drumline, and visual teams. The band also features an outstanding color guard and award-winning twirling teams. In addition to football field shows, the BMB performs for the Swanton Corn Festival Parade, the AC Homecoming Parade, and the Lenawee County High School Marching Band Exhibition in early October, as well as other exhibitions during the season.
