What is Band Day?

The Spirit of Gold Band & Twirler Day is an annual event that invites high school students to experience Game Day as a member of the Vanderbilt Spirit of Gold Marching Band.

Band Day participants will…

  • Perform with the Spirit of Gold.

  • Rehearse with the Spirit of Gold prior to the game.

  • Meet current Spirit of Gold band members.

  • Receive a Band Day t-shirt (which will be worn during the performance).

Who can attend Band Day?

  • Full high school bands as well as individual band members are welcome to attend Band Day!

  • Students must be accompanied by an adult chaperone at a ratio of...

    • 1 chaperone per every 10 students ( ages 9-14 )

    • 1 chaperone per every 12 students (ages 15-18)

    • 1 chaperone per student under 18 (if registering as an individual).

    • A link to purchase tickets for additional chaperones and family at a special Band Day rate will be sent to all registrants.

  • Music for the event will be made available for students to access prior to Band Day. No music will be available on the day of the event.

  • Drum majors, color guard members, and majorettes are invited as well. Color guard members should bring their own flag and twirlers should bring their own baton(s).

  • We will not have a front ensemble for Band Day. We suggest that those who typically play in a front ensemble bring cymbals, bass drums, tenor drums, or snare drums to play for the day.
