Many Big 10 marching bands travel to away games, but due to lack of funds the University of Minnesota Marching Band hasn't traveled (with the exception of bowl games) since 1996, before most current band members were born. We can change that!
A generous Band supporter is offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $100,000 for donations made to the band’s new travel fund until the end of March. If we can reach the goal, the band will be able to travel to one of two key away games to Nebraska or Ohio State during the 2018 season and save for travel for the 2019 season. The hope is to turn this fund into an endowment that can support travel for many years to come.
Hoping to ride on the excitement of the Super Bowl halftime, the band have started a crowd funding campaign to travel to an away game next year! Many of us here have talked about how we would love to see the band travel, and now is our time to help!
