Back the Band
Back the Band is your opportunity to invest directly in the students who bring the energy, tradition, and spirit to Fighting Hawks athletic events.
The Pride of the North Athletic Band is more than a pep band—it is the sound of UND athletics, performing at home and postseason events for more than half a million fans in person each year, and for millions more watching on national television and streaming platforms. Every note they play amplifies the game‑day experience and showcases the University of North Dakota on a national stage.
