The Showtime VIP Experience
Become a Band Member for the Day
This fall, trade your seat in the stands for the center of the sound.
Introducing the Showtime VIP Experience—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step into the spotlight with the world-renowned Showtime Marching Band.
You and a guest will go behind the scenes and live a day in the life of a Showtime Band member, experiencing the power, precision, and pageantry that make Showtime a cultural force at Howard and beyond.
Your All-Access VIP Day Includes:
Morning Rehearsal: Start your day like the band does—on the field. Learn a routine and get a firsthand look at what makes Showtime tick.

Lunch with the Band: Break bread and swap stories with Showtime members—hear what it means to carry the rhythm of Howard University.

Pre-Game March-In: March into the stadium with the band, through the roar of the crowd and the heart of the action.

Sideline Access for Halftime: Stand on the sidelines during the legendary halftime show—and get a personal shoutout from the announcer.
