What is the Marching Owl Band?

An age-old question. Some say we’re tacky. Distasteful. Shameless. Offensive. And we agree completely. The MOB is all of those things and more. We pride ourselves on playing good music, satirizing whatever deserves it, and having fun.

We’re “Marching” in name only. Instead, we scatter to various formations and play from them. In truth, we’re performance artists, but rather than just dance interpretively to hazy saxophone, or spin fire, we do these things while also joking around on the field.

So, come and join us, and find out that there’s still room to rock out on the field!

The MOB has weekly music rehearsals

On Mondays at 8:30pm and Tuesdays at 7:00pm in the Gladu Band Hall by Rice Stadium, and weekly field rehearsals on Thursdays at 7:00pm. No pressure to attend every rehearsal — just show up when you can!

Stay tuned in to our weekly newsletters for ways to participate with The MOB!

Undergraduate MOBsters, join us every Friday for MOBlunch and fun nights!
