Performances
The Cal Band has been seen and heard at a variety of performance venues. In the recent past, the Cal Band has appeared at the San Francisco Symphony's "Black and White Ball," performed for such names as George Shultz (former U.S. Secretary of State), the late Peter Haas and family (UC Berkeley benefactors and the owners of Levi Strauss & Co.), and George Lucas. In addition, the Cal Band has been seen on the nationally syndicated game show "Wheel of Fortune," Santa Rosa TV 50's morning program, KTVU Channel 2's "Mornings on Two," KRON Channel 4's newscasts, "Bay Area Backroads," and sportscaster Vernon Glen's "Mr. Involvement." The Cal Band sound has graced the airwaves of dozens of Bay Area radio stations, such as WILD 94.9 and KMEL 106.1, Live 105, and K101, and rounds out its exposure on the pages of numerous Bay Area newspapers.
In the Spring, the Band performs at both Men's and Women's basketball games, at home and away. In the Fall, during weeks of home football games, the Cal Band gives several performances. On Fridays before a game, the Cal Band plays at the noon rallies on Sproul Plaza. On game days the Cal Band gives a concert on Sproul Plaza an hour and a half before kickoff. The Band performs a Pre-game and Halftime show at each home football game
