We are proud of the accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff. I hope the information contained here will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about us.

ALL THAT'S MISSING IS YOU!!!
The Gator Band is the "Sound of the Gator Nation" and the most visible performance organization on campus. This will be a great year to be a Gator and there is no better way to start your career on campus than in the Gator Band! All members of the Gator Band receive scholarships beginning with their second year in the program - in addition to any other scholarships you may be receiving! It's less time than high school with 90,000 fans at every performance!! You'll never perform for more people on a regular schedule than in the Gator Band!!
You should do this your first year at UF - Don't fall for the "I'll do it next year after I'm established in college" trick!!! The classes only get harder and your time only more consuming as you move through your major!!
