The University of Massachusetts Minuteman Marching Band

The UMMB has long been a source of great pride for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Under the leadership of director Timothy Todd Anderson, associate director and percussion instructor Ian G. Hale, and assistant director and visual coordinator Christine Sirard, the "Power and Class" has emerged as one of the nation's outstanding band programs. The band’s award winning drumline, large and powerful horn section, and modernized color guard are known for their energy, excellence, and enthusiasm. At home football games, the band performs its traditional post game show for hundreds of enthusiastic, dedicated fans who don't leave the stadium until the last note.
