With 150 musicians, dancers, color guard, and a featured twirler, the RMB is a positive source of pride and school spirit for you as well as the entire UT community. Auditions for the 2012 RMB Drumline, Color Guard, Feature Twirler, and Dancing Rockettes will begin in April of this year. There are no formal auditions for wind players. If you plan to attend UT this fall and are interested in joining the Rocket Marching Band, visit the RMB page for more information.
