The Syracuse University Marching Band (SUMB), also known as the "Pride of the Orange", is the collegiate marching band of Syracuse University.
The SUMB performs at all home football games throughout the season, and also makes several local parades and other performances throughout the year.
It is one of the largest student organizations at Syracuse University, consisting of approximately 200 members.
Founded in 1901, it is one of the oldest collegiate bands in the nation.
Over the course of almost 120 years, the "Pride of the Orange" has played a huge role in University history and has been a constant source of pride for the University.

'Cuse on the Quad Starting three hours prior to Syracuse football home games, fans attend the social meeting, children's playground, food and beverages garden areas organized by the University located directly on the Quad, the center of the campus.
Fans can watch College Game Day or the top college football games streaming live on ESPN under the tents.
Fans can also take in the sights and sounds of local DJs, live music, and the Syracuse University Marching Band which performs on the steps of Hendrick's Chapel about an hour before kickoff.

Down the Field The band has first officially performed at a football game in 1925.
Over the decades, after every touchdown scored by the Orange, the SUMB plays the Syracuse University fight song, "Down the Field" (1914), written by Ralph Murphy, Class of 1916, and composed by C. Harold Lewis, Class of 1915.
Win or lose, the Alma Mater is played by the band after every football game.
The team will gather in the end zone with the cheerleaders and Otto and sing the song.
Students and fans often wrap their arms around the shoulders of those standing next to them and sway side to side.

Flip the Banner at Varsity Varsity, a pizza shop just outside the campus, has been passed down for three generations since 1926.
The Varsity has been an integral part of SU sports culture for decades.
The Orange schedule is displayed with banners hanging on the walls of the restaurant.
After victories, the "Pride of the Orange" goes to Varsity and will play their sets inside the restaurant.
After the band plays, the banner of the opposing team will be flipped upside down to symbolize the victory.
For the entire season, the banners will tell the tale of Syracuse's season.
