10 Gifts Marching Band Performers Will LOVE

No matter how well you know a person, when it comes time to find them a gift, it seems like your brain just freezes. You’ve known this person your whole life, but then you try to find them a gift and…

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Not sure what the marching band fan in your life wants? We do! After all, this is where they shop! We’ve gone through our best-selling items for the past year and put together a fail-proof gift guide.

You’re welcome.

1. Patches and Pins

You don’t buy a Letterman Jacket for nothing. Marching Band is a true sport, and commemorating every achievement is part of the fun. Not surprisingly then, our most popular items were patches and pins – instrument patches, “Class of” patches, event pins, and achievement patches.

2. Bands of America ¼ Zip Long Sleeve Performance T-Shirt

It’s a best-seller for a reason. The moisture-wicking fabric keeps you dry and comfortable. In fact, it’s so comfortable, you might just end up getting one for yourself, too.

3. Bands of America Lanyards

It turns out people really need a way to keep their keys safe. (Hey, those marching competitions can get crazy. No wonder these are a best-seller.) There are four designs to choose from, which means you've got gifts for four friends!

4. Bands of America Metallic 3D Hoodie

Yup, it’s marching season, which means it’s freezing cold outside. Trust me, you do not want to be at Grand Nationals in Indianapolis without a sweater.

Play it safe, pick up a hoodie for your friend (and yourself), and thank me later.

5. 'Keep It 100' T-Shirt

This is for the friend that always keeps it real. Music is a true passion for them and they’re not afraid to let anyone know it.

6. Music for All 'Blessed' T-Shirt

Blessed are the weird people
The poets & misfits
The artists, the writers, and the music makers
The dreamers and the outsiders

Because they inspire us to see the world differently.

Who inspires you?

7. Music for All 'Good Times' T-Shirt

Good times. Good music. Good memories.

This activity affords kids so many opportunities for fun and personal growth. Judging by how many people bought this t-shirt, we’re not alone in that thinking.

8. Bands of America Logo T-Shirt

At the end of it all, it’s about the memories. What better way to celebrate those moments than with an official Bands of America t-shirt?

9. Bands of America Full Zip Performance Jacket

You’re probably starting to see a trend here. It looks like I’m not the only one who can’t handle the weather during marching season.

If a hoodie isn’t your friend's style, pick up this jacket. It’s super-warm and full of pockets.

10. Bands of America Chenille Performance Hoodie

If there’s one lesson to learn from this list, it’s that your band friends are as cold as you are.

This performance hoodie is the ultimate in comfort, style, and warmth. It was designed specifically with marching fans in mind. Everything from the pockets to the fabric to the name tag was constructed just for you.

Finding the right gift can be difficult. You can't go wrong with these choices, but if you're looking for more, the Music for All Shop is full of apparel and accessories that your band friends or family members will love.
