HORNS
The horn section is comprised of 36 members with 12 performance block spots. Four rank leaders and one section leader make up the student leaders of the horn section.
As a member of the horn section, this "family" will provide a valuable support system throughout your college career, helping you adjust to life in Ann Arbor and create life-long friendships.
Prospective students are encouraged to reach out to their instrument’s section leader for the 2024-25 season to ask questions about auditioning or to learn more about their section and the ensemble. Please use the subject line “MMB Prospective Member Questions” when emailing section leaders.

WHAT IS THE HORN SECTION’S FAVORITE…
PART OF BAND WEEK?
Our favorite Band Week tradition is on the evening of First Look. We will first dress up nicely and take pictures in the diag. We then head to Mongolian Grill for dinner and end up at Washtenaw Dairy. It is a great way to celebrate an amazing band week with some of your closest friends!
GAME DAY TRADITION?
Doing our "Nice Diag" chant in the tunnel before we take the field for pregame. The Horn side of the Diag will do this special chant, essentially manifesting a "very nice diag!"
SOCIAL ACTIVITY?
We have either Nintendo Smash, JackBox, or Among Us game nights every so often. We also have an annual ski trip in the winter and a summer trip up north. We also play a fun game of nerf wars at the beginning of the calendar year before going to Pizza House, which is always really fun. We are also very athletic, having soccer, basketball, volleyball, and flag football teams.
SECTION TRADITIONS?
Rainbow diag! We coordinate rainbow colors so that our diag during a pregame rehearsal looks amazing in October-ish. Oh, and our Hornsgiving dinner around Thanksgiving time. And our cider mill trip in the fall! We also go ice skating once in a while at Yost.
