Band Day

The spring game will be the last practice for the Arkansas Razorbacks this semester, wrapping up several weeks of drills . The annual event allows the Razorback Marching Band to get into the stands and perform for Hog fans who are ready to get an early look at the 2026 edition of Razorback football!

We are excited to include high school students interested in learning about the traditions of the University of Arkansas and the energy of the Best in Sight and Sound through a fun Band Day experience!

Your registration includes gameday pizza and t-shirt. General Admission to the spring game is free with a complementary ticket from the Razorback Foundation.

The deadline to register was Thursday, April 16th.

Music

Band Day participants have two options for their music.

1) If you want paper music, then you will need to print and bring your own copies. You can view and download a copy of all music here.

2) If you’re comfortable with the FlipFolder App on your phone, we will assist you on the day of the game with a mobile version of the music. Important: the University of Arkansas Bands does not keep an inventory of e-flips, and you will need to supply your own if necessary. Use this link if you need to order one.
