The Marist College Band organization involves approximately 140 students performing in a variety of twelve ensembles. The namesake and largest of these ensembles is the Marist College Band. It performs full symphonic concert programs of standard wind- band literature, tours nationally, prepares one half-time show each Fall for performance at home football games, and performs at home Marist basketball games, Marist basketball games at Madison Square Garden and at the MAAC Championship Basketball Tournament that occurs the first weekend in March. Membership in this large ensemble entitles the student to also participate as a member of the Brass Ensemble, Low-Brass Choir, Flute Choir, Woodwind Ensemble, Woodwind Quintet, Musical Theater Pit Orchestra, and the Jazz Band known as the "Jazz Foxes." Other ensembles that flourish under the 'umbrella' of the Marist College Band include the Handbell Choir, Guitar Ensemble and a variety of 'Rock' Bands.
