Clinical data were collected on injury occurrence to members of the University of Michigan Marching Band over the course of one season including a bowl game appearance. Band members were asked to fill out forms at the time of injury to gather pertinent information. The majority of the injuries were self-limiting. Included in this study was a total of 179 injuries, of which 153 (85.5%) involved the lower extremities. The authors provided a one-season injury survey of a collegiate marching band and made recommendations that may help to reduce and prevent future band-related injuries.
