McKendree University Marching Bearcat Band

"Hail to thee our dear old McKendree; may we always loyal be. It's a song of praise we raise to thee Alma Mater, dear Old M.C. May we ever hold thee true and wise and right; honor purple and the white. And for victory we'll always FIGHT 'till we win for Old M-C-K! - - - - M-C-K!" - McKendree University Fight Song

Formed in the late 1990s, the McKendree Marching Bearcat Band has become a fixture at athletic events as well as the entire campus community. The Marching Bearcat Band performs during the pre-game and halftime shows at McKendree football games, entertains high school students at the annual "Preview of Champions" marching band contest, and keeps the crowd pumped during the basketball season. In addition, the Marching Bearcat Band performs an annual fall concert, and participates in many other campus and local area celebrations.
