The University of Minnesota Marching Band (also known as UMMB, Minnesota Marching Band, and The Pride of Minnesota[1]) is the marching band of the University of Minnesota and the flagship university band for the state of Minnesota. The Pride of Minnesota serves as an ambassador for the university, representing the school at major events both on and off campus.[2] The band performs before, during, and after all home Golden Gopher football games and bowl games, occasional away games, local parades, numerous pepfests, exhibition performances,[3] as well as a series of indoor concerts toward the end of the regular football season.[3] Members of the band, along with non-member students, also participate in smaller athletic pep bands that perform at other major sporting events, including men's hockey, men's basketball, women's hockey, women's basketball, and women's volleyball.[4]
