ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Marching Band to share the spotlight with Snoop Dogg at the Arizona Bowl
While the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University football team prepares to face Colorado State University in the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented by Gin & Juice By Dre and Snoop, the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Marching Band is preparing for a different aspect of the game; performing alongside music icon Snoop Dogg at halftime of the bowl game on Saturday, Dec. 28, in Tucson, Arizona.
Kicking off at 4:30 p.m. ET in Arizona Stadium and broadcast on The CW Network, both the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Marching Band and Colorado State University Marching Band will perform at halftime in collaboration with Snoop Dogg.
“Obviously, the opportunity for our students to perform at halftime with Snoop Dogg presents a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and one that the students are extremely excited about,” said marching band director Ryan Yahl, D.M., “This will be no small undertaking, especially with transporting the band and equipment out to Tucson, and then having to learn whatever Snoop decides he would like to do with the two marching bands while neither are able to have regular rehearsals with the conclusion of the fall semester.”
The ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Marching Band (MUMB), represents a diverse cross-section of the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú community. Members of the MUMB come from every division and almost every major at the university. Music majors represent approximately 25% of the group. Membership is for all woodwind, brass, battery, and keyboard percussion, color guard, twirlers, and Shakerettes. Comprising over 235 student musicians, the band has been a source of entertainment and RedHawk spirit for decades, performing across the nation and supporting ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú’s athletic teams with passion and precision.
“None of this would be possible without the help and support of the university administration, the administrative leadership of the College of Creative Arts and Department of Music, and the students and staff of the MUMB who work hard to represent ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University,” Yahl said.
ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú is entering its 16th all-time bowl appearance with an 8-5 record and plenty of momentum, having advanced to the MAC Championship Game for the third time since 2019.
Tickets for the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented by Gin & Juice By Dre and Snoop, including seats in the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú section, are available .
