Goin' Band from Raiderland Membership Application

NOTE: We march piccolos and all silver brass instruments. If you do not have one of these instruments, you may rent one from the Goin’ Band.

Saturday, April 15th - Clothing Orders Open

Sunday, July 2nd - Clothing Orders Close at 5pm CST

Note: If clothing is not purchased before this deadline, then you will not have the mandatory clothing needed to begin band. Please come prepared. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MEET ALL DEADLINES.

*Reminder: The clothing must be ordered using the codes and instructions found in the Student Information Packet at www.goinband.org

Percussionists (ZIT) will need to place their required clothing order on Sunday, August 13th.

Percussionists may order optional items that DO NOT require personalization. The object of this is to alleviate any issues with a person ordering personalized percussion items and then not being chosen for the drum line. Required clothing will be available for purchase on Sunday, August 13th, after you have been chosen for a place on the drum line.

EVERYONE is required to fill out the information below. 


ALL NEW members of the band must purchase gloves, spats, and visor. 

Returning members: if spats and visor are in GOOD shape, only need to purchase new gloves.

We offer optional instructional mini-camps each summer to give all potential members an opportunity to learn our marching techniques before summer band. Although they are not required, they are strongly encouraged if you hope to be a contributing member of our band program. During this mini-camp, we will introduce our:
  •Pre-Game Show fundamentals, which are considerably different from your high school experience, yet one of the most enjoyable parts of your collegiate marching band experience.
  •Corps-Style marching fundamentals, which include forward and backwards march, slides and step-outs.
