All flute players must provide their own piccolo. Students are graded primarily on their attendance to all rehearsals and performances. No, except for piccolos and the drumline, members do not have to memorize their show music. The Hawkeye Marching Band will perform five or six different halftime shows next fall, in addition to the pregame music, various cheers and music in the stands. We realize members are students first and can best use their free time studying for their classes.
All members use their folios in the stands during the game.
The Hawkeye Marching Band will travel to the Kick-off Classic, Iowa vs. Kansas State in Arrowhead Stadium on August 26, 2000. The Large Pep Band performs for all men's home basketball games and a few other events as announced. The Small Pep Band performs for all women's home basketball games and a few other events as announced. Students receive one hour of credit during the second semester for their participation, although attendance is recorded starting with the beginning of the basketball season in October. Auditions will be held on Wednesday evening, September 22.
