The Golden Buffalo Marching Band is enjoying their Prime Era
When students living in dorms on campus hear the festive sounds of horns and percussion coming from Farrand Field, they know its game day at CU Boulder. For the last 115 years, through rain, shine and snow, the College of Musics Golden Buffalo Marching Band has served as an enduring rallying point, uniting the campus community in support of its beloved football team. A student organization of more than 230 members, the marching band performs at all home football games, at the Pearl Street Stampede on the evening before home games and at various events off campus. The marching band impacts the lives of students from across campus and thats part of our mission to develop universal, multifaceted, multi-skilled graduates, says Dean John Davis. Whether students are majoring in music, or another field, the integration of music into their lives and potentially into parts of their careers is what were all about. As we look forward to welcoming alumni, friends and families back to Boulder for Homecoming weekend, theres one thing to keep in mind: No matter the hype, no matter the scorethe band always wins.
