The Golden Eagle Band Video Transcript

You won't find us on the sidelines of the game.

You won't see us performing at halftime.

We are more than just a college marching band.

We are The Golden Eagle Band.

Formed in 1873, we are the oldest college marching band in the state, and among the oldest in the nation.

Our band serves as the official musical representative of the university's nationally recognized Corps of Cadets.

Through our brass, woodwind, and field battery percussion sections, we honor UNG and its cadets to the highest quality in both song and ceremony.

We are uniquely open to all UNG students civilian and cadet.

Though much has changed over our 146 year history, one thing remains the same.

We are UNG's marching band and we are here to stay.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
