THANK YOU!!
The Cavalier Marching Band, affectionately known as the CMB, is the premier marching ensemble at the University of Virginia. They truly consider each other family, and for many members of the Cavalier Marching Band, the best friends they make in their entire college career, they met on the first day of their first band camp. It is extremely common for band members to live together, to take classes together and to even join other extra-curricular activities together.
WTJU 91.1 FM enriches the culture of Virginia and extends the educational mission of UVA by bringing together diverse individuals and communities through exceptional music and conversation. WXTJ 100.1 FM is UVA’s freeform student radio. Students do it all, from hosting radio shows to organizing live music events to connecting with UVA’s music community. WXTJ started as a webstream in late 2013. Since April 13, 2016, it has been pushing out 23 watts of pure freeform power from its transmitter on Observatory Hill.
