Pride of The Valley

The College is proud to be home to the largest marching band in the Middle Atlantic Conference. More than 130 students from a vast variety of majors across campus proudly take the field with the Pride of The Valley each year.

Our band leads the charge with school spirit at our Dutchmen football games and executes their renowned halftime field show.

The Pride of The Valley Marching Band also performs at various other events and competitions around Pennsylvania, including the Cavalcade of Bands Championships in Hershey, and helps run an annual Summer Band Camp.
