Athletic Bands

The “Marching Statesmen” Marching Band is one the largest, most visible student organizations on campus. The band, which includes the Delta State Colorguard, is mostly non-music majors and represents nearly every college and department on campus. Each year, the Delta State Marching Band performs for thousands of Delta State fans at home football games, high school marching band competitions, and local parades. The “Marching Statesmen” strive to present an excellent musical and visual presentation at each performance. Membership in the ensemble is by audition and is open to all students regardless of academic major. A required pre-season camp is held in August of each year.
