About the Band

I have started a

Address is:

I encourage all band members and prospective member to join!

The "Pride of the Plains" Marching Band at Pittsburg State University is a highly spirited 175+ piece contemporary style marching band that consists of traditional marching band instrumentation, color guard, feature twirlers and the Crimson and Gold Dancers. The marching band at Pitt State is a tremendous source of pride to the university and throughout the region.

The "Pride" performs at all home football games, select away games, leads the homecoming and Pittsburg Christmas Parades, and participates in other school and community events. A highlight of recent years has been performing in the Kansas City Chief's Arrowhead Stadium and cheering on the Gorillas at the NCAA Division 2 National Championships.

After a three day band camp which occurs the week before school starts, full band rehearsals are held from 3-4:30 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the fall semester. Enrollment in the band is open to all Pitt State students regardless of academic major.

All members of the "Pride of the Plains" receive stipends starting from $400 for their participation. Significant additional scholarship monies may be available to qualified applicants by audition.
