University of Oregon Garter Band

The University of Oregon Garter Band will perform its annual concert at the WOW Hall on Sunday, June 9th. The Oregon Athletic Bands maintain two 12-member scholarship groups known as the Green Garter Band (GGB) and the Yellow Garter Band (YGB). Often seen performing around the stadium before football games, the GGB and YGB play everything from Louie Louie to their own arrangements. Instrumentation for the bands includes four saxophones (two altos, tenor and bari), one mellophone, three trumpets, two trombones, bass guitar and drums.  All members are selected by audition from the OMB. The Garter Band performs for all women’s volleyball games and selected women’s basketball games, as well as many other performances on and off campus. A faculty member advises the group, but student directors organize all tune selection, rehearsals and performances.
