The Official Home of the University of Connecticut Marching Band

Welcome to the official home of the Pride of Connecticut, the spirit behind the UConn Huskies. This nearly 300-member-strong wall of sound is best known for its energy and undying passion for music and the University of Connecticut. Famous for electrifying 40,000-seat Rentschler Field and making it one of the loudest stadiums in the nation, the UConn Marching Band (UCMB) also brings its animated and exciting shows to crowds across the Northeast and the world.

Pride of Connecticut Uniform Drive 2008

For over one hundred years, the Pride of Connecticut has embodied the spirit and pride surrounding many of UConn’s storied athletic contests. Now that the Huskies have joined the upper echelon of college football as champions of the Big East Conference, the UCMB looks to upgrade its aging uniforms to a new, exciting style fit for today's college marching band environment.

The Band is currently in the second year of a drive for funds for new uniforms, as its current uniforms will see their fifteenth year of service this coming fall! (Normal life expectancy is 8 to 10 years). The new uniforms need to be purchased as soon as possible to be debuted for use in the coming season!

Find information on how to help the UCMB uniform drive on the Donations page.
