Three Reasons to Join the Dons Band!
Continue Playing Music in College
Our Band is a community of musicians from various majors and walks. Most of us are not music majors (a few of us are), and we're here because we enjoy playing music and want to have fun.
2. Find Your Place at USF
Academics can be stressful. The students that are the most happy and successful in college are the ones who strike a balance between academics and social life. Becoming a part of a community such as the USF Band allows students to strike that study-life balance.
3. Explore and Connect
Students who join meet people they might have never met otherwise, make lasting connections, and become a part of a growing community of students and alumni that are connected throughout the Bay Area and California. The Band is open to all USF students, and we accept musicians of various musical abilities, provided you are willing to learn and improve.
