Join the Band

For more than 125 years, the Pride of the North Marching Band has filled the UND campus—and stadiums across the state—with spirit, sound, and unforgettable tradition.

From game‑day pageantry to lifelong friendships, Pride offers an experience that is equal parts excitement, excellence, and community. We want you to be part of it.

• Never marched before? No problem—we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
• Not a music major? Neither are 95% of our members.
• Concerned about time commitment? With nearly every major represented in the band, we’ll help you see how the Pride fits seamlessly into your academic schedule.

No matter your background or area of study, there’s a place for you with the Pride of the North. Connect with us, tell us your interests, and a current student will reach out to share what band life looks like alongside your chosen major—both in and out of the classroom.
