MSOM is a great way to make lots of friends and have a second family at UMD. Performing on game day is just a small perk that MSOM offers. You'll make great memories and connections with people that you wont ever forget.
MSOM has been an amazing way to escape from all the studying once in a while, and to hang out with everyone in the band! It is a great way to make new friends and be a part of the UMD community.
Joining MSOM was no doubt the best decision I have made. MSOM gives you instant friends and gives you the opportunity to meet fellow classmates in your class. Throughout my first semester, I have made a ton of friends and I can say my closest friends are in the band. I highly recommend joining MSOM because you get to be a part of something awesome on campus.
MSOM is an incredible way to make friends at the University of Maryland. Before coming to college I wasn't sure whether or not I'd join, but I'm really glad I did. I never thought I could make over a dozen new friends in just one week. Without my experience in MSOM, it's hard to imagine what college would be like or how I would even create half as many friendships as I have. If you like band and want to share an incredible experience with incredible people, the Mighty Sound of Maryland is a great place to do it!
MSOM is such an inclusive and supportive environment. It's crazy how so many people who embrace different musical abilities, study different majors, and come from so many different backgrounds are able to bond over a unique activity. As a member of the Mighty Sound of Maryland, I am definitely not the best player or marcher, but everyone is here to help you learn and perform the best, even though you may be super clumsy or not a music major. We have also gotten to travel with the band to places like Detroit and perform at the Kennedy Center!! I have met so many amazing people through this organization and with the connections I have made, I definitely will not forget the impact that this marching band has left on me during my college years.
Joining MSOM was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Coming in as an out-of-state student, I thought it would take forever to make friends at such a huge university. Being in marching band made UMD's enormous campus feel small enough to call "home" within just 7 days of Early Week. MSOM brought me nearly all of my closest friends, and taught me more about music and marching than I could've expected.
