Help the AUMB R.A.T.s Beat Bama at the Beat Bama Food Drive!

The AUMB R.A.T. Program has begun a new tradition of service to the community.  This year, you can help our band’s Rookie Auburn Tigers by supporting their efforts to contribute to the Beat Bama Food Drive.  The R.A.T. Leaders will be collecting canned food items in orange bins during our upcoming Sounds of Auburn concert, and at band rehearsal Saturday morning before the Furman (Homecoming) game.  Be sure to bring some canned food to rehearsal to help support your Auburn University Marching Band and East Alabama Food Bank!

Hey, it’s Steven, the webmaster guy. Preseason Camp is here, and so our R.A.T. Leaders, and for that matter, the whole staff are busy getting the band ready for kickoff against Lousianna-Monroe in just three weeks!

Activities and Drills, and they’ll be posted throughout the week to our Photo Gallery.  I’ll be blogging things here a bit as well, showing y’all a few of my favorite pictures. Read More »

Hello again everyone! It’s Hannah, again.

So you’ve made it through preseason camp. You know the stand tunes, you know the show music, and you could probably even march your spot in the drill with your eyes closed. Well now it’s time to show that off (although I don’t recommend marching with your eyes closed). That’s right R.A.T.s….it’s GAMEDAY! Read More »
