Saxophones

Buena Vista University is the only school in the American Rivers Conference with a marching band. BVU Marching Blue (including a drumline, color guard, and twirlers!) will perform at home football performances and tour across the Midwest. Blue Steel, the BVU pep bad, provides an incredible game day atmosphere for Beaver athletic events.
