As the football season nears its end, the marching band gets ready to go up against the BYU football team and band rivals in what promises to be one of the biggest games of the season. The game against BYU is one of the performances the band looks forward to and is one of the highlights of the year, Sproul said.

"There is not only rivalry between the teams but also between the bands," said CJ. Leoncini, a junior studying music at the U who plays the drums. The band consists of marching and pep bands, which switch members between seasons depending on who wants to stay on all year. Band members receive a free uniform they wear to every game as well as a $700 scholarship per semester to defray DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE tuition costs.

The band is not all practice and sacrifice—it is also a place to meet friends and learn more about working as a team, Sproul said. Band members don't have to be music majors, they just need to play at a proficient level. "My six years here have been a life-changing experience," Leoncini said.
