Marching and Pep Bands
The Paladin Regiment Marching Band
Marching band is one of the most unique activities in which a college student can be involved. Where else can students learn to work with others whose major area of study is completely different from their own and where a freshman can perform alongside a senior on a regular basis? Where else can a student work with other students and faculty and develop relationships that last throughout their entire college careers? Where else can students work together to create art while entertaining a crowd and supporting their university? Only in college marching band!
The Paladin Regiment performs for home football games and selected away games each year. Additionally, the band may perform for area high school band contests, parades, and community events. The Furman Band was invited to perform in the 2021 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland and traveled for 7 days to the Emerald Isle.
The Paladin Regiment is directed by Furman Director of Bands, Dr. Sue Samuels, and Associate Director of Bands Dr. David Stanley. Our marching band is open to all Furman students as well as students from Greenville Tech.
