Buccaneer Band

THE BUCCANEER MARCHING BAND

The Blinn College Buccaneer Band performs throughout the fall to support the Buccaneer football team at all home football games and even select away games. Adding to the halftime show’s colorful pageantry is the Blinn College Color Guard, performing exciting routines to the sounds of the Buccaneer band. Music majors and non-music majors alike participate in Blinn’s marching and concert bands. In fact, approximately 30% of Blinn’s band are music majors. Band students come from high schools of all sizes from across the state. In addition to football games, the Buccaneer band performs at exhibition performances, campus concerts, and conducts a concert tour each spring. The band also hosts and performs at the annual Buccaneer Marching Band Festival during the fall semester. The Buccaneer Band is part of the Blinn College Music Department, which offers small classes, one-on-one attention, practical learning, and easily accessible faculty so that students are actively engaged in a superior learning environment. Blinn offers a wide range of instrumental studies, including piano, brass ensemble, woodwind ensemble, jazz band, percussion ensemble, and a steel drum band.
