Enrollment in the pep band is open to all North Central students. Previous band experience is a plus, but not a requirement for participation. In the fall term, the band is made up of winds (flute, clarinet, saxes, trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium, and tuba), the drumline (snares, tenors/quads, basses, cymbals), and the Cardinal Color Guard. Participation in the drumline and color guard is by audition only.

A scholarship is available for Pep Band participation. More information on this scholarship can be found by clicking here.  

For more information regarding scholarships or participation in the band, please contact the athletic band director, Sean Kelley, at spkelley@noctrl.edu.

Through their musical service, student band members provide an enjoyable and rewarding atmosphere for students, parents, alumni and Cardinal fans. We hope to see you at home football and home basketball games to cheer on our student-athletes and to watch the band perform!
