Join the Beat: Pep Band and Campus Band Opportunities at Montclair State University

The John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University invites students, faculty, and staff to keep their musical passion alive by joining one of our spirited ensembles — the Montclair State University Pep Band or the Montclair State University Campus Band.

Montclair State University Pep Band
From the first whistle of football season to the final buzzer of basketball games, the Pep Band brings high-energy sound and school spirit to the stands. Members rehearse just once per week — Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:00 PM — making it easy to stay involved while managing a busy schedule. In addition to the fun of making music, members who commit to the full year receive a small stipend.

“Being a part of the Montclair Pep Band is an opportunity to support your school and have a good time doing it,” says Dr. Thomas McCauley, Director of University Bands.

For more information, contact Dr. McCauley at mccauleyt@montclair.edu.

Montclair State University Campus Band
The Campus Band welcomes everyone from across the university community — students, faculty, and staff — to perform in a concert band setting. With only one rehearsal a week on Tuesdays from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, the group prepares for one on-campus concert each semester. Whether you’ve been playing for years or are eager to pick up your instrument again, the Campus Band offers good music, good people, and a good time.

To learn how to join, contact Professor Sotiropoulos at sotiropoulot@montclair.edu or Dr. McCauley at mccauleyt@montclair.edu.

Whether you’re looking for the rush of performing in the stands or the camaraderie of a concert band, Montclair State offers a place for you to make music and memories.
