| Details: | The CMU School of Music is pleased to invite you and your students to join us for our SEVENTY-SECOND Band Day on Saturday, September 19, 2026. We’re sharing preliminary schedule and repertoire information to aid you in making fall travel plans. This year’s show is “Shiver Me Timbers!” and will feature selections from Dropkick Murphys and a couple of seafaring earworms! Because it’s proved successful, we’ll again form an ALL-STAR MASSED BAND to perform at halftime. We invite you to bring as many of your students as you like to join us on the field. Any consideration toward balanced instrumentation is at your discretion. Try to bring at least as many tenor and bass voices as upper woodwinds. Alto voices and trumpets shouldn’t pose a problem in any number. Our primary concern is that your students have a chance to participate. Please do what you can to help with balance while bringing as many students as possible. We once again invite you to bring members of your color guard, in any number, to be featured with the CMU Guard at halftime. We will help your students with VERY SIMPLE FLAG WORK for one of the featured numbers and The Central Fight Song. We’ll continue to write for flags only, though you may bring any other auxiliary performers as you like. As in previous years, additional students may attend without performing, at your discretion. ALL students must be in uniform to be admitted to the game. Please select an appropriate alternative to your usual “full uniform,” should we face unusually warm weather. We’ll stay in touch as the event approaches in case we need to make that call. Directors, drivers, and chaperons will be issued tickets as well, courtesy of CMU Athletics. We hope you and your students can join us for this colorful event. Our fans and the CMU student body are always a fantastic audience, and coach Matt Drinkall is looking forward to another very exciting season for our Team. All in all, it should be a day to remember. Please complete the online form. Finalized information will be sent in August so you can finalize your itineraries as quickly as possible. We hope you and your students can join us for a day of musical pageantry and CMU Football! |
