Cornell Big Red Marching Band

The Cornell Big Red Marching Band is the only corps style marching band (as opposed to a scatter band) in the Ivy League. It performs at all home, and most away, Cornell Big Red football games. In addition, the band has performed at halftime for numerous National Football League and Canadian Football League games, and began a tradition of an annual Spring Concert in 2006. Since 1972, the band has held a bi-annual march in New York City which takes place on dates when the Cornell football team travels to Columbia University, known as the Sy Katz '31 Parade.
