The University of Toledo Rocket Marching Band is one of the largest and most visible student groups on campus! 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 2013 RMB Drumline, Color Guard, Feature Twirler, and Dancing Rockettes will begin in April of this year. There are no formal auditions for wind players.
