The Northwestern University Wildcat Marching Band (NUMB) is the marching band of Northwestern University. NUMB provides pre-game, halftime, and postgame field performances at all home football games while school is in session as well as performing in various pep bands and at "Wildcat Alley" before the game. Other NUMB performances include "Kids fare: March with the Band" in late September, the Homecoming parade, and any post-season football games, and one Big Ten away game per season.
