Our Marching Chiefs have an extraordinary commitment of time and talent. It's no secret that students put in long hours to prepare for performances. They invest an average of 23 hours per week during the fall semester, on top of classes and schoolwork.
What many don't know is that each Chief also spends approximately $150 every year out-of-pocket to purchase marching shoes, a uniform shirt, an official hat, instrument supplies, and other required materials.
The CHIEFS UNITED endowment will cover these costs and provide direct support for every Marching Chief.
Our students work incredibly hard to make Marching Chiefs a source of pride for FSU, and we want to reduce the cost burden of participating in this renowned music ensemble.
CHIEFS UNITED: One band. One goal. Every Chief!
