“I continue to be humbled by the support that the band and other activities of the School of the Performing Arts has received from alumni and friends." - David Reynolds, Director of the School of Performing Arts
The Pride of the Dakotas Marching Band is dedicated to creating memorable experiences and building strong connections among our students. Your support during One Day for STATE will help:
- Pre-season Camp: Cover expenses for our early-season camp, which prepares students for performances and ensures they have proper nutrition and hydration during intensive August rehearsals.
- Scholarships: Provide financial support to students, helping them continue participating in the Pride while balancing academic responsibilities and supporting retention in the band.
- Outreach and Performances: Fund opportunities for the band to perform off-campus, share the Pride experience with prospective students, and represent SDSU at regional events and competitions.
Together, we can continue to elevate The Pride of the Dakotas, enriching our students’ college experience and showcasing our band’s excellence, on and off campus.
