Marching Mizzou, also known as the "Big 'M' of the Midwest," is the most visible ensemble in the School of Music and is the largest student organization on campus. Marching Mizzou is comprised of over 300 students from nearly every major within the University. This time-honored organization combines "Tiger" pride, quality musicianship, unrivaled dedication and over 110 years of tradition to create their nationally renowned gridiron excitement.

In addition to performances across Missouri and the United States, Marching Mizzou was recently invited to perform at the 2012 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland. While in Ireland, Marching Mizzou also performed in the Limerick International Band Championship where they were distinguished as the International Band Champions.
