100 years strong. Did you know the UB Marching Band was formed shortly after World War I in 1920? Now Bulls fans celebrate one of the longest-standing traditions at UB — and arguably one of the best marching bands on the East Coast. Join us as we honor our history and work to secure this source of campus pride for the next century and beyond.
Sharing memories of the music and more. Former band directors Frank Cipolla, Mark Flynn and current director Jim Mauck reflect on the past and present of the UB Marching Band.
Tom O’Connor, BS ’75, and other like-minded donors “banded together” to create the Marching Band Endowment Fund.
Take a walk down memory lane. See where the UB Marching Band started, where it is now and view pictures from the Century Celebration.
The Thunder of the East has been entertaining crowds at UB Stadium for many years. Check out some favorite performances!
