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..."
The band may not have traveled to BC, but you can’t keep us away from a Deacon football game. No instruments, but we’re just as loud cheering on the Deacs!
Shoutout to @bcmarchingband for a fantastic field show (and for letting us take this picture in your section)!
Today is our senior class’ last time ever performing at Truist Field. We wanted to take time to highlight each of our ten seniors and thank them for their contributions to the program these past four years. They’ve traveled to Birmingham, New York, and Louisville. They’ve played everything from Billy Joel to Disney Princess Medley. They are a resilient group of musicians who always bring energy, passion, and love into our program. Congratulations and thank you to SOTOGAB’s Class of 2022! We will miss you all dearly. As always, Go Deacs!
Waking up to an 8-0 record for the first time in school history has us pretty pumped. Let’s go for 9 this week as we travel to UNC! #GoDeacs #wfu26 #SOTOGAB
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
Smiles all around because we are going into the week with a ranked @wakefootball team!! See everyone this Saturday at 12:30 as we take on Louisville! #godeacs #sotogab #accbands #wfu25 #wfu26
We are so excited and thankful that we reached 5️⃣0️⃣ donors today on this incredible Deacs Day of Giving and now will receive a gracious donation of $10,000 from an anonymous contributor. Thank you so much for your continued support! It makes it possible for us to make the music at and bring the spirit to Wake Forest athletic events! GO DEACS and GO SOTOGAB! #WFUBands #ACCBands #GoDeacs
