Pearl Street Stampedes

A favorite local tradition, the CU Boulder Golden Buffalo Marching Band (GBMB) joins the Colorado Buffaloes in Pearl Street Stampedes bringing our campus and community together as we rally for Buffs victories before each home game!

The GBMB leads the excitement and enthusiasm on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, beginning at the Boulder Courthouse downtown. Each stampede kicks off with an entertaining preview of musical highlights for the next day’s game. Don’t miss this family-friendly event as Buff fans join the heartbeat of the University of Colorado Boulder: Our Golden Buffalo Marching Band!
