The majority of PMB members are not music majors. Members major in everything from accounting to zoology.
All members receive one credit hour.
Music majors can use the PMB as their major ensemble for the fall semester. Piccolos, mellophones, baritones, sousaphones, and percussion are all university instruments. The department of music has an inventory of instruments for band members to use at no charge. The drum majors, feature twirler, color guard, and Midwest Funk Factory drumline are all auditioned positions. While these are the scheduled rehearsal times, it should be noted that occasional Tuesday and Friday rehearsals are canceled during off weeks.
