Schedule a Visit

From personalized visits to full-day experiences, we invite you to step into the rhythm of campus life and see where your journey could begin as a music or non-music major.

Non-Music Major Visits

Students interested in joining the Pride of the Southland Marching Band or any of our Concert Bands without enrolling in a music degree should contact the Band Office directly for more information.


Music Major Visit Options

If you are a first-year or transfer undergraduate student who plans on majoring in music in the Natalie L. Haslam College of Music, we encourage you to explore our tour and visitation options! We offer three ways to explore life on Rocky Top as a Music Vol. Each visitation day has limited spots. We recommend scheduling early to reserve your preferred date.

When you sign up, you will be able to schedule time to meet with our band directors and/or visit an ensemble rehearsal.
