UCLA Band

The 250 member UCLA Bruin Marching Band, known as The Solid Gold Sound, performs at the Rose Bowl for UCLA Bruin home football games before crowds as large as 100,000 people. Pregame shows by the Band build crowd energy and enthusiasm with UCLA favorites Strike Up the Band, Sons of Westwood and The Mighty Bruins. Throughout the game, this lively group of students keeps spirits high with rock and pop hits and Bruin "eight claps". When the halftime whistle blows, the Marching Band rolls onto the field to entertain the audience with a smooth, symphonic fusion of sound, movement and color.

The Band travels to the San Francisco Bay area each fall for either the Stanford or Cal game, and has taken regular season trips to Michigan, Texas, Miami, Ohio State, Colorado, Illinois, Washington, Arizona, and Arizona State. Appearances at major bowls have taken the Band to the Mirage Bowl in Tokyo, the Aloha Bowl, the Silicon Valley Bowl, the Freedom Bowl, the Liberty Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Cotton Bowl and the Rose Bowl.
