Sounds of the Gridiron

Join the NDSU Gold Star Marching Band for our annual SOUNDS OF THE GRIDIRON event on Sunday, November 22 at FARGODOME!

Starting at 2 p.m., the marching band will perform selections from the 2026 pre-game and season halftime shows plus favorite Bison Pep Band tunes. Bring the entire family for a fun afternoon of Bison Pride!

The concert is free and open to the public. Doors open and the silent auction begins at 1 p.m. on the home side/east concourse.

Want to REALLY make it a fun Bison-filled day? This year, Bison Arts is hosting a Tailgate Fundraiser from 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. prior to the Sounds of the Gridiron to raise money for our Sports Bands. Join us upstairs at the Fargodome for heavy hors d’oeuvres, beverages provided by Happy Harry’s, and live music from Challey School of Music students and the Bison Pep Band.

While the Sounds of the Gridiron is free and open to the public, the Bison Arts Tailgate Fundraiser is a ticketed event. Find more details and reserve your $50 ticket by Monday, November 16 at ndsu.edu/performingarts/bisonarts.

GO BISON!
