Feel The Might was created to expand the circle of support surrounding the Showtime Marching Band—not to replace or duplicate the work Alumni Band Members have been doing for decades.

There are countless Showtime Band Alumni who have dedicated their time, resources, and leadership to preserving the band’s legacy. Their contributions have helped shape generations of musicians and supporters.

Our Initiative is different.

Feel The Might exists to engage the broader Howard community—including alumni who were not members of the band, parents, friends, businesses, and community supporters—who are looking for meaningful ways to invest in Showtime’s future. Through fundraising, media, sponsorship development, recruitment support, and direct assistance to band members, we seek to provide additional resources that complement the work already being done.

We believe the future of Showtime is strongest when every part of the Bison community works together.

There is no single entity that can meet every need of a program as large and impactful as Showtime.

By creating more opportunities for people to contribute their talents, resources, and expertise, we can collectively provide an even greater level of support for the students who proudly represent Howard University.

The band is the University’s Calling Card.

At the end of the day, the mission is simple: more support for the band, more opportunities for its students, and a stronger future for Showtime.

For the past two seasons, undergraduate students and alumni volunteers have dedicated their time and talents to provide photography, videography, and social media re-branding for the Showtime Marching Band.

These efforts have been made possible through the generosity of donors, including band alumni, community members, and supporters who simply love music and believe in the impact of Showtime.

Beyond capturing moments, your support has also allowed us to provide scholarships and emergency financial assistance to band members facing unexpected hardships.

As we begin a new season, we are raising funds to expand and sustain these efforts. 

Your support will help provide:

Website hosting and subscription platforms

Travel and transportation expenses

Hotel and housing accommodations during travel

Compensation for videographers

Compensation for graphic designers

Photography and video equipment

Post-production software and editing costs

Sponsorship development and partnership outreach

Student scholarships and emergency assistance

Every donation directly strengthens our ability to tell the story of the Showtime Marching Band while investing in the students who make that story possible.
