Experience a student matinee favorite on a college campus when the more than 320 members of “The Pride of Minnesota” return to Northrop! This spirited and joyful indoor concert brings a new twist on halftime favorites, an exciting appearance by Goldy Gopher, commentary between pieces, and a Q&A with members of the band. The University of Minnesota Marching Band, under the direction of Dr. Betsy McCann and Dr. Emmanuel Rodriguez, remains one of the most dynamic and visible organizations on campus. Not only does the band provide enthusiastic support to the University’s athletic programs, but it also represents UMN at events year-round. Join the fun at this high-energy, participatory concert that celebrates Gopher spirit!
“They’re the unsung heroes … of the sports calendar. Their beats fill the breaks between the plays on the field; they keep fans glued to their seats at halftime; and without them, the ‘Rouser’ would fail to rouse.”—Minnpost
Northrop proudly engages students in meaningful experiences that expand their worldview and provide the hope and joy the arts offer through its K–12 matinee program.
