Join the UConn Drumline

Any student attending The University of Connecticut is eligible to join the drumline and front ensemble. Membership is obtained through a simple audition. Of more than 330 members of the UCMB, only about one sixth major in music. Almost every college and major course of study within the University is represented throughout the band. In addition, the overall grade point average of band members is significantly above the University average. Band members are almost always the students who want to excel in their classes – many are enrolled in various UConn Honors programs. The UCMB helps students develop a work ethic which carries over to their studies and eventually their careers.
