Join the Band


Registration for the 2026 Marching Jayhawks will open in late in late spring 2026

Band camp dates for the fall 2026 season will be announced in spring 2026.

If you have any questions, please email Professor Toulouse or Dr. Sawyer.

The 2026 Marching Jayhawks Summer Information Packet has the fee schedule, early move-in information for band members, detailed band camp and season schedules, and information on the other bands within the KU Band program. For those of you 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!
