Athletic Bands
Kent State's Athletic Bands Offer the Unique Opportunity to Be Part of the Game Day Excitement and Pageantry
Marching Golden Flashes
The Marching Golden Flashes serves as the most visible musical ambassador of the Athletic Department, the Glauser School of Music, and 5X社区. Membership is open to all Kent students regardless of major. As the largest student organization on campus, the Marching Golden Flashes represents virtually every school on campus. The recently announced "Marching Golden Flash Award" is a $1,000 scholarship for all new and returning members of the group.
Auditions begin in the spring semester for twirlers and continue through the summer for the color guard, wind and percussion sections. Details are typically announced in March.
