field2YES. The band performs pregame, halftime, and occasionally postgame shows. We perform in the stands during the games as well. This is one of the few football venues where attendance goes UP at halftime.

Does the band travel to any away games?

YES. The band goes on one major trip each fall. We often travel to an away game such as Boise State or the University of Montana. Occasionally we travel to other venues such as NFL games (Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers) and CFL games (Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver).
