The Cal Poly Mustang Band
The Mustang Band is a large group of brass, woodwind, percussion, and color guard performers that provide entertainment at Cal Poly
athletic events. Although easily recognizable in Spanos Stadium at all home football games as the 200-member strong Pride of the Pacific
Mustang Marching Band, the organization also features up to four stadium bands. These pep bands (at approximately 50
members per ensemble) perform at all home volleyball matches as well as all men's and women's home basketball games.
The Mustang Band also performs at special functions throughout the year, including Week of Welcome activities in September, the San
Francisco Chinese New Year Parade in February, and Cal Poly's Open House weekend in April.
If you would like to view our introduction video, it is available on our YouTube channel as the Cal Poly Mustang Band Official Trailer.
