Spirit Band

Liberty University Spirit Band

The Liberty University Spirit Band is the “pep band” for Liberty University. It performs primarily at home basketball games and postseason play.

We are seeking players for alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, mellophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba, drum set, and bass guitar. Liberty provides school-issued instruments for mellophone, baritone, trombone, tuba, bass guitar (amp), and drum set. Scholarships are Available!

The Spirit Band performs various musical selections before large public audiences in attendance at athletic events and radio and television audiences. The band plays for men’s and women’s basketball home games. This ensemble also travels with the basketball teams during postseason play, which involves fun trips where the members make lifetime memories.

Spirit Band (MUSC 193 / 494) is a Spring-semester course that begins in November and continues until the end of basketball tournament play in the Spring. In 2025, the CUSA tournament will be during Spring Break in Hunstville, AL. Additionally, if Liberty advances to the NCAA tournament, the season extends into early March.

For additional information, email Dr. Seipp at band@liberty.edu.
