The Marching Virginians' latest CD, Celebrate!, can be purchased on-campus at the University Bookstore and in the Blacksburg area at Tech Bookstore and Volume Two. It can also be purchased online from any of these retailers!

Though you often hear the line “330 Strong!”, the MVs actually have around 340-360 members depending on the season.

No. All band members are enrolled in MUS 3314 – Instrumental Music Ensemble, and receive a credit for their participation in MVs. We are proud of our volunteer student-musicians!

The MVs rehearse Monday-Friday from 5:30-7:00PM during the fall semester at the Miller-Johnson Outdoor Track Complex adjacent to Lane Stadium.

Each year, The Marching Virginians present this exciting evening of music in conjunction with the University Symphonic Wind Ensemble and the Virginia Tech Jazz Ensemble. Narrated by the Voice of The Marching Virginians, Dr. Tony Distler, this concert provides something for everyone’s musical tastes. The performance concludes with The Marching Virginians presenting their ONLY INDOOR CONCERT OF THE YEAR. It’s fun for the whole family!

Tickets for the 2008 Band-A-Rama (Date: TBA) will go on sale in the Summer of 2008. Tickets are $10.00 for the general public!

All proceeds from the performance go directly to supporting scholarships in the Department of Music.

Come by a rehearsal during the fall, or better yet, come to Band-A-Rama to see the MVs and help support scholarships for deserving students in the Department of Music!

Yes we do! Over the course of the past few years the Marching Virginians have been featured in exhibition at Narrows High School, as well as the Charlottesville Cavalcade of Bands and the Oaktown Classic. During their exhibition tour in 2005, the MVs performed for over 7,000 bandmembers, fans, and band lovers!

The Marching Virginians are lucky to have dedicated alumni, students and fans who have given graciously to the MVs over the years. Through their efforts, we have established the Marching Virginians Endowment through the College of Liberal and Human Sciences. The current MVs Endowment is well over $300,000 and growing!

In addition, supporters of the MVs were instrumental in the fundraising for the engraved sousaphones that have graced Lane Stadium on gamedays for the past 6 years!

If you are interested in giving to the MVs, you may do so through the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences at Virginia Tech!
