Tulane University Marching Band

The drumline also uses Yamaha battery and front ensemble equipment and proudly use Vic Firth Sticks, Zildjian Cymbals, and Remo drumheads.

It performs predominately with flags, rifles, and sabres in pregame and halftime shows, as well as Mardi Gras parades and a Spring stage production.

[11][7] Members of the TUMB receive credit both semesters - in the fall for football season and in the spring for Mardi Gras parades.

The band then begins the gameday parade from Newcomb Hall, through the two main tailgating quads on Tulane's Uptown campus, and then down McAlister Drive to the stadium.

The TUMB, Shockwave, and cheer squad then lead fans in the Fight Song and "The Hullabaloo" Cheer while forming a traditional serif "T." Finally, the TUMB plays the Tulane University Alma Mater and The Star Spangled Banner before welcoming the Green Wave football team onto the field.

Its main focus is keeping alumni informed and organized, networking both inside and outside the association, and providing support to the TUMB.

It is a small-scale brass ensemble usually composed of 1-2 trumpets, 1-2 saxophones, and 1-2 trombones, a tuba, and a drummer (with bass and snare drums), though these positions rotate from a pool of members who come from the TUMB.

The band performs in the premium areas of Yulman Stadium during the 3rd quarter of Tulane football games for fans and staff alike.
