Join the Band


The Frost Band of the Hour supports The University of Miami Hurricanes as part of the Division 1 ACC Conference. We perform for over 65,000 people at UM football games held at Hard Rock Stadium (home of the Miami Dolphins), championship bowl games, nationally televised NCAA Men’s and Women's Basketball games, March Madness Basketball championship tournaments, marching band festival exhibitions, and sports and entertainment events throughout South Florida.

Whether you're a music major at the Frost School, or enrolled in any other course of study across our diverse campus or in South Florida, the Frost Band of the Hour is your place to make great music, make lifelong friends, and make a difference in the community.
