A record number of participants in the Marching Jayhawks, for the THIRD year in a row
A full-band trip to the Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix, AZ
Post-season tournament travel for all our pep bands: Women's Volleyball, Women's Basketball, and Men's Basketball

If you have any questions, please contact the band office at 785-864-3367, or email Ms. Toulouse. Included in the packet

is early move-in information for band members, detailed band camp and season schedules, and information on the other bands within the KU Band program. You will receive updated schedules at band camp as we still have some events to finalize for that week. For those of you who are new to KU, the bands are a great place to continue your music making in a welcoming environment, make lasting friendships, and be an integral part of the KU community. We can't wait to return to campus and make music together!

Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we'll see you in August - ROCK CHALK!
