You are invited to experience a day as a Cavalier Marching Band member when the UVA football team takes on Georgia Tech!
Your full day includes check-in at Carr’s Hill Field, a rehearsal with the CMB, a meal with your section courtesy of the band, transportation to/from Scott Stadium, a ticket to the game, the halftime show performance on the field, and performing with the CMB in the stands. Music and marching drill will be provided electronically approximately 3 weeks prior to UVA Band Day (check the Band Day Handbook for more information).
Together, nearly 600 performs will entertain the crowd performing our “V is for Villains” halftime show which includes music from the Lion King, Princess and the Frog, Final Fantasy, and the Hunger Games. You’ll gain first-hand experience with what it’s like to be a Cavalier Marching Band member on a gameday!
This special event is open to high school students grades 9-12. If you are interested in attending UVA’s Band Day, we encourage you to fill out our Band Day Interest Form today.

The cost is $55.00 which is payable by check (preferred) or cash. You’ll receive a commemorative Band Day T-shirt and we encourage you to wear your letter jacket or other warm clothing! Checks can be made out to the Cavalier Marching Band. Attendees are encouraged to mail payment in advance to:
