This is located near where the MSU Maroon band practices marching for football games and parades.
The Famous Maroon Band at Mississippi State University has one of the oldest traditions in the Southeast and has been a part of the Mississippi State family for over a century. Ensembles within the band program have achieved national and international acclaim through their many performances over the years. Who can imagine a football or basketball game without “Hail State” being played by the Famous Maroon Band?
The membership of the band program annually represents almost every college and school on the university campus and is comprised of some of the finest students on the MSU campus. Thirty to forty percent of the student members are engineering majors, and over forty percent of the entering students in the band consistently score higher than 27 on the ACT.
Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, the bands enjoy a $4.2 million "state-of-the-art" rehearsal hall and practice field. The Band and Choral Rehearsal Hall has over 16,000 square feet and accommodates the entire band program and choral program. Features include three large rehearsal rooms, an office complex including offices for faculty and staff and a reception area, individual practice rooms, student lockers, uniform and instrument storage, two large work rooms, a separate band and choral library, and a conference room.
The University Band program is comprised of 9 ensembles:
the 330 member Famous Maroon Marching Band
four concert bands
two jazz bands
two basketball bands
