Top 10 Reasons to Join the UDAMB

10. You get to go to all the football games for free!  Yes, we get to play before the start of the game at home games and during halftime at away games.  Plus, we play fun pep songs during the game to cheer on our guys.  Go Trojans!  

9. We march in parades!  What can beat the cheering of a crowd, all for you?  We march in Memorial Day, Halloween, and the various local summer parades.

8. Get to know the high schoolers before you even get there!  Imagine already having friends who are sophomores, juniors, and seniors before you even get to high school!

7. You get to wear a cool uniform in everyone's favorite colors: orange and black.

6. The bus rides are awesome!  

5. We take really cool trips to places like Disney, Boston, the Smoky Mountains, and Cleveland!  You can see more about our trips by clicking the links at left.

4. You can earn a Varsity letter!  If/When you’re in high school, you’ll work hard and play hard, so you’ll earn a respected award... without the injury risk factor of other sports.

3. You will have FUN while learning to be great on your instrument!  Face it, your friends are here, so what can be better?  Plus, your instrument (or flag) will become part of you – and you’ll enjoy performing more than ever because you are SO good!

2. You're part of a competitive team where no one sits the bench.  We perform in competitions where several bands compete for rank and for score. It’s fantastic to see how we (and our scores) improve throughout the season.  Plus, every member is an essential part of our team, so you'll know you definitely contributed to the win.

1. You will gain memories and friendships that last a lifetime!  Why do these band kids stick together, even after band season – even after school is out?  Find out!
