Appalachian State University Bands

Basketball Band

Once an extension of the Marching Mountaineers, the Basketball Band has evolved into a highly energized group of musicians who lend their musical abilities and school spirit to create a "home court advantage" for the ASU Men's and Women's Basketball teams.

Basketball Band is open to all students, regardless of major.  No auditions are required unless deemed necessary by the director.  Students enrolled in Basketball Band receive one hour of academic credit by registering for MUS 1125.  Rehearsals take place prior to the beginning of basketball season, and the band performs at all home basketball games.  The band also travels to the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament each year, and to the NCAA Tournament should a bid be received.
