The University of Notre Dame Band will kick off its 177th year with a march-out around the Notre Dame campus. Beginning outside the Ricci Band Rehearsal Hall, the band plans to march past several Notre Dame landmarks including the Hesburgh Library, Clarke Memorial Fountain, and Grace Hall. The march-out will conclude at the Ricci Family Fields.

One of the traditional campus events ringing in the beginning of a new school year, the march-out will feature both veteran band members and students auditioning for a spot in the 2022 Band of the Fighting Irish. Over the course of the four-day audition process, students receive instruction in marching and musical fundamentals, and will complete both music and marching auditions. The audition process concludes the evening of Sunday, August 21.

Dating back to 1845, the Notre Dame Band is the oldest college band in continuous existence in the United States. In addition to a rich history of performing at concerts, campus celebrations and religious ceremonies, the Band of the Fighting Irish has a long tradition of providing music and pageantry for Notre Dame football games and athletic events.
