The Brooklyn United Marching Band, popularly referred to as BU, is a Brooklyn United Music and Arts Program favorite. The southern collegiate-style band, with its flair for unique and electrifying presentations, has grown to become one of the country’s most prestigious marching bands. The band participates in over 80 parades, showcases, and special events throughout the year.
Brooklyn United’s Drumline, an engaged group of high-energy percussionists that takes their performances seriously, and the results are pure fun and entertainment. These skilled musicians take ownership of the stage or street wherever they perform—from Barclays Center to MetLife Stadium to Carnegie Hall—and showcase drum and cadence talents they have developed and perfected with the help of BU’s music and art professionals. Beyond music and dance, members also demonstrate leadership skills and confidence whether performing in front of parents, community representatives, or elected officials. This drumline packs the house every time, promising quality entertainment with spirited rhythm and street beat moves.
