Our tubas are struggling to stay together and we need to replace two broken tubas. The Villanova Band uses some instruments that are older than its members!
The tubas cost $4,600 each and our goal is to raise the funds to buy two new tubas.
Please help us by supporting the Villanova band so we can continue to provide “that bass” at all of our campus events!
The Villanova University Band plays at all home football games and men's and women's basketball games, including post-season tournaments. In addition, we play an end of semester concert on campus, and are very much involved in service, participating annually in the Villanova Day of Service and partaking in a service trip every October. We play at various university functions throughout the year, and during Commencement Weekend.

Thanks to our 99 generous donors and all of you who helped spread the word, we've reached our fundraising goal to buy two new tubas with six days left in our campaign!
A HUGE thank you to all of the Nova Nation, our amazing alumni, the band family, and to our own families and friends for supporting us in this crucial project. We can't wait for you to hear our new instruments when they take the field, the stands, or the stage next year!
While we have reached our goal, you can still make a gift up until May 31st that will go directly to the Band and get us closer to a third new Tuba!
Go Cats!

He preferred to remain anonymous until he posted on his own Facebook page. A little hint: he played drums, was in the Navy, loves the law, lives in the DC area, and his initials are JJ.
So how about jumping on board to help us to reach our goal and take it over the top. Go Cats!

Take a peek at some places the Class of 2017 has taken the tubas with the basketball teams over the past four years as we prepare to send them (and the Pavilion) off! Every donation to our tuba campaign makes memories like these possible - thanks again to everyone who has already given! #thankyouseniors
We're back at rehearsal on this beautiful #TubaTuesday and the weather has us thinking back to Band Camp 2016... can you spot our tubas?

Our current tuba section features six sousaphone players. Here's five of them during a performance at Cardinal Cushing Centers in Hanover, Massachusetts on this year's Fall Tour break trip. Your donation will help to replace two of these instruments so we can continue to provide quality music on our service trips!
