Howard University Bands

Howard University Bands Welcome to the Howard University "Showtime" Marching Band Alumni Page! Membership is not limited to music majors; it is open to all disciplines.

The legacy of the Howard University "Showtime" Marching Band lives on through the passion, dedication, and excellence of its alumni. Known for its stellar stereophonic sound, kaleidoscopic precision drills, star-quality vocalists and dazzling dynamic dance routines, the “Showtime” Band is the mainstay of a diverse and ever expanding population at Howard. One hundred and fifty members strong, “Show

time” is the largest student organization and holds the distinction of being the "spirit of the University." Scholarships are offered on the basis of departmental need, overall ability of the student and availability of funds. The diverse repertoire in the marching band includes traditional and contemporary literature. Students of all ranks join the band and their majors range from Biology to Sociology while Music majors make up less than 20 percent of the band.

Howard University continues to monitor conditions in coordination with federal and local authorities, in addition to nearby colleges and universities. Please look for additional updates via email, howard.edu, and the Bison Safe app as operational decisions are finalized for Monday, which may
