North Dakota State Performing Arts and the Gold Star Marching Band invite you to a concert showcasing “The Pride of North Dakota.” The concert, entitled “Sounds of the Gridiron,” is this Sunday, Nov. 6, at the Fargodome.

Students are used to seeing the band before and at halftime during Bison games. While we all enjoy the music of the GSMB on game day, they will really flex their abilities in Sunday’s performance.

The band, under the direction of Sigurd Johnson, will be playing some of the classics from Bison football games, as well as some contemporary hits from their halftime shows.

“Sounds of the Gridiron” is an annual event for the GSMB, NDSU and Fargo-Moorhead community. The performance showcases students from all years and majors and the hard work they’ve put into one of the most well known pieces of not just NDSU Performing Arts, but NDSU Athletics as well.

The Gold Star Marching Band started in 1903 and was then known as the North Dakota Agricultural College Cadet Band. Over the years, the GSMB has slowly grown from 14 members to today’s whopping 200. The band’s excellence moves beyond the football field. The band tours nation-wide, providing the rest of the country with the best of N.D.

For those who enjoy the band’s music at football games or would like to support the hard work of NDSU students, “Sounds of the Gridiron” is not something to miss. The concert is free and open to the public.
