Band Day 2023

We are excited and proud to announce the return of Band Day for 2023! All high school band members are invited and welcome to attend. This exciting event allows high school students from across the state of Montana to interact, rehearse, and perform with one of Montana’s Premier College Marching Bands. Please wear blue jeans and tennis shoes, but please come prepared for the weather that day. Bring your own instrument. The Spirit of the West marching band will be providing t-shirts for the students as well as hot dogs at the game. Come be a part of the MSU Bobcat experience!

Registration closes September 13, 2023
