McNeese State University Bands

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled. Thank you for your continued support of The Pride of McNeese and local high school marching bands.

TPOM Leadership kicking off the new season!

On July 3, 2024, our friends from the USAF Band of the West will be performing an Independence Day Concert at the Rosa Hart Theatre in Lake Charles, LA!

This patriotic musical extravaganza promises to captivate audiences with a diverse program, ranging from big band hits of the 1940s to brand-new compositions written exclusively for this tour. As the sun sets, the band will take the stage at 6:00 PM.

Whether you're a music enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable way to celebrate Independence Day, this concert is not to be missed!
