The Wake Forest University Athletic Bands consist of the Marching Band and Pep Bands and are collectively known as the Spirit of the Old Gold and Black.
A part of Wake Forest University Athletics and the Department of Music, SOTOGAB epitomizes Wake Forest passion, pride, and excellence.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to
welcome you as a Demon Deacon!
"Dear old Wake Forest, Thine is a noble name..."
Members of our SOTOGAB family rolled the quad today after our victory over Army to take the Deacs to 7-0!!! #GoDeacs #WFUBands #wfu26
Game faces on as we take on Syracuse away this week! Be sure to watch the game and cheer the Deacs to 6-0! #wfu25 #wfu26 #godeacs #sotogab
Today, some of our very own Wake band members ran laps around our beautiful quad! This was part of Wake Forest University’s annual “Hit the Bricks” cancer research fundraiser, in which students, alumni, faculty, and other participants run as many laps around the quad as they can to raise money for a great cause.
Two years ago, a few band members started the tradition of running a lap holding and wearing some of the biggest instruments in the band, and they’ll back again next year to do it again!
We love finding ways to support our campus and bring the spirit of the university to life! #godeacs #sotogab #wfubands #hitthebricks #accbands #wfu25 #wfu26 @wfuhitthebricks
