The Huskie Marching Band is a select organization whose mission is threefold:
The Huskie Band performs at all university home football games, at select away games, and at post-season bowl games. The Band entertains the stadium crowd while both on the field and in the stands. The Huskie Band also entertains crowds at select parades and university events. The Band also supports the Huskie football team. The Band also contributes to the education of members who may become band directors. In short, students in the Huskie Marching Band have been "defining collegiate life in DeKalb since 1899."
