Back the Band

The Pride of the North Marching Band is the gameday soundtrack of the University of North Dakota.

Back the Band Today

More than 180 student musicians bring energy, tradition and school spirit to every UND gameday. Through Back the Band, alumni, fans and friends help provide opportunities that allow Pride members to represent UND with pride.

Why Your Support Matters

The Pride of the North Band attracts students from across campus. Most are not music majors, yet they dedicate countless hours to rehearsals, performances, and travel because they share a passion for music, teamwork and creating unforgettable experiences for the UND community.

Your gift helps fund instruments, uniforms, equipment, travel and other essential program needs. By supporting Back the Band, you can sponsor an individual student, a section or the entire Pride of the North while helping create a meaningful experience for students and fans alike.
