About the Ouachita Marching Band

For many years, the Ouachita Baptist University Marching Band has captivated audiences across this part of the country with outstanding performances. Whether marching before the home crowd or away, at an invitational marching competition as an exhibition band or simple performing in the local parades, the Ouachita Marching Band has attained a position of distinction and a reputation for excellence. The entertainment value of this group is second to none.

The Ouachita Marching Band is under the direction of Dr. Austin Motley, with assistance from Dr. Ryan Lewis as director of the drum line. Any student at Ouachita is welcome to join, regardless of major. Many of the members are music majors preparing for careers as performers or teachers, but the majority of the members are non-music majors who want to be a part of an exciting performing group.

There are scholarships available for members of the Ouachita Marching Band.
