Biography
The Huskie Marching Band is a select organization at Northern Illinois University whose mission is threefold: To Entertain, To Support, and To Educate. The Huskie Band performs at all university home football games, at select away games, and at post-season bowl games. The Band entertains the stadium crowd while both on the field and in the stands. The Huskie Band also entertains crowds at select parades and university events. The Band also supports the Huskie football team. The Band also contributes to the education of members who may become band directors. In short, students in the Huskie Marching Band have been "defining collegiate life in DeKalb since 1899."
The Huskie Marching Band contributes to the festive atmosphere found at our performance venues. Energy, excitement, and fun are associated with the Band's appearances. The music we perform is understood and enjoyed by the audience at hand. Our audiences have come to expect that whatever is done will be done well. Our shows contain variety, familiarity, musical excellence, visual interest, and tradition.
To accomplish this style of show it is necessary to have new and different shows at every home football game. The constant goal, however, is toward presenting the very best performance possible within the time limitations imposed by the season's schedule. Good performance skills (music, marching, and choreography) are always demanded.
