FSU Band Day- PAYMENT DUE NOVEMBER 10TH
FSU Band Day (A separate event from FSU Prism Concert) is Saturday, November 18th.
FSU Band Day is different from UF Band Day in that there will not be any element of performance, but you will get to watch the FSU Band and go to an FSU Football Game (vs. North Alabama). It's a good time!
Like UF Band Day, to sign up to go to FSU Band Day, you will need to pay a $20 Commitment Fee to the band. We have 40 spots available, that are first come first served.
THIS LINK is where an itinerary will eventually be posted. Itinerary will be posted whenever the time for the game is released by FSU athletics.
