Marching Band

University of Rio Grande is excited to launch its new Marching Band in Fall 2025, with an expected 60- 80 students! In anticipation, some of our students will begin performing in a Pep Band during select home basketball games this winter. Your support is vital in helping us offset the costs of starting this exciting program, including purchasing new uniforms, instruments, and providing additional scholarship funds. 

All contributions make a difference! Please send checks payable to URG, with “Marching Band” in the memo, to P.O. Box 500, Rio Grande, OH. All gifts are tax-deductible. If you wish to set up a recurring gift or pledge significant support over the next 1-3 years, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement by emailing giving@rio.edu or by calling 740-245-7200. Thank you for helping us grow our student population and support the future of Rio!
