Instrumentation in the band includes piccolos, clarinets, alto saxophones, tenor saxophones, trumpets, mellophones, trombones, baritones, sousaphones, snare drums, tenor drums, bass drums, cymbals, and glockenspiels. The Cal Band does not have a color guard or drill team but encourages anyone with musical experience to apply. Often newmen can be trained on a secondary instrument if their primary instrument is not used within the Band. Note: this year, entrance to several sections is somewhat competitive, particularly the piccolo section. Don't be discouraged! We'd still love to have you fill out an interest form, but make sure to note all the instruments you can play or would consider learning.
