The Campaign for New Instruments

Our Marching Chiefs dedicate themselves to two primary goals: supporting the team, and bringing first-class halftime entertainment to Seminole fans. At every rehearsal, and at every game, our students give 100 percent effort in pursuit of the standard of excellence established by our alumni decades ago.

Now we are stepping up to provide 100 percent support to the Marching Chiefs. We have recently upgraded our rehearsal field and storage facilities, and now the time has come to upgrade our instrument inventory. Our instrument inventory has not been thoroughly updated since 1991. In fact, we are still using many instruments that were obtained in 1974. This is in stark contrast to many of our peer institutions that replace and update instruments every decade.

Our students deserve top quality equipment that will allow them to sound their very best. If you believe, as I do, that the Marching Chiefs are a vital component of our athletics, our cultural life, and our campus, then please help us with your contribution. Your tax-deductible gift to this instrument campaign will be used exclusively to ensure that we keep the sound of the war chant ringing strong throughout Doak Campbell Stadium well into the future.

We thank you for your support. Go ‘Noles!

FACEBOOK

Many people ask us about a Facebook page for Marching Chiefs. At this time, we do not have an official Facebook page, but that may change in the future.

As you may know, there are a few “Marching Chiefs” fan pages on Facebook. These are not official and not endorsed by Dr. Dunnigan, Dr. Plack, the College of Music, or Florida State University.

If you follow one of these, be aware that you will find nothing official on these pages.

If and when we set up an official Facebook page, you will find that information (and a link) here on our website.
