BRMB Testimonies

"By joining the WKU Bands, I felt an instant sense of belonging in college! I made lifelong memories with people who shared the same passion for music. Even in a pandemic, you will see how the department does everything in their power to give the most enjoyable experience to their students. Come join us today!"

"I was scared I wouldn’t be noticed in such a big place, but I am so glad I joined. I’ve loved marching band and meeting all the people! Plus it really kept me focused academically as well! Marching Band has truly been the highlight of my college experience!!"

"The Big Red Marching Band is a home to anyone who steps foot on the field with us. You will make lifelong memories and come across friends from practically any major you could possibly think of! This makes the BRMB one of the most diverse and fruitful organizations our Hilltoppers have to offer. I have never been apart of a more accepting and supportive group and would urge any and everyone to consider joining our BRMB family! We are the Pride of the Hilltoppers!"

"In the bands here, you get to meet some awesome people. I met my current roommate and best friend while being apart of this program. Living 3+ hours away, I didn’t know anyone, but band kids always bond together no matter what program it is."

"Being the feature twirler and a member of the Big Red Marching is a dream come true. The marching band is truly a family! It does not matter what you play, spin, or twirl. You will always feel welcomed and feel like a part of the band family. I am excited for my future experiences with the Big Red Marching Band, as every experience has and will be amazing. I genuinely look forward to every single rehearsal and performance that we have. I truly believe that the joining the Big Red Marching Band is the best decision you could ever make!  It is so much fun and you learn so many valuable life skills that you can use in your future."

"Hi! I’m Sami, one of the piccolo/flute section leaders! My favorite thing about the BRMB is that there are always welcoming arms to everyone of every background! Whenever you are having a bad day, the band is always here for you to cheer you up, to be that light in your life that you need. The BRMB has filled such a huge hole in my life, and has made me so happy to be a part of the biggest student organization on campus with the widest variety of students as well! Come join us!"
