Spartan Pride Marching Band

Manchester University’s Spartan Pride Marching Band (MUSP) is an exciting and rapidly growing group that brings high-energy performances to home football games and campus events. The band plays a mix of athletic band music and marching field shows that get the crowd cheering.

Rehearsals take place during the fall semester on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 4:30 to 6 p.m., and all instrumentalists who meet the audition standard are welcome to join. All members are required to attend band camp before the start of the fall semester.
