Of the 125 Blinn band members, about 15 percent are actual music majors. Fifty-three high schools ranging from Class 1A to Class 5A are represented in the Buccaneer band. Instrumentalists should prepare selections demonstrating musical ability such as region tryout material or UIL solo repertoire. Flags should prepare a representative routine demonstrating a variety of flag choreography. Substantial scholarships are available to qualified musicians through auditions and upon recommendation of the applicant's high school band director.
Scholarships are equally available to non music major and music majors.
The Buccaneer Band is active throughout the year appearing at half-time shows during the football season, campus concerts and a concert tour each spring.
