Tulane University Band Day
Every year the Tulane University Marching Band hosts Band Day, offering high school and middle school groups the opportunity of a lifetime to perform with the TUMB at Yulman Stadium! This year’s event will take place on Saturday, November 21st, 2026. Band Day is open to bands (including color guards, dance teams, and twirlers) of any skill level. Participants rehearse in sections with TUMB members and instructors as well as musicians from other participating schools. All directors receive a digital photo of the large ensemble to commemorate the event and to share with students, families, and administrators. Students, directors, and administrators enter for free. All parents, families, and friends can purchase discounted tickets here.
