The Big Red Marching Machine officially kicked off their 2026 Hatch Campaign yesterday! We are looking for anyone interested in supporting us - support does not have to look like giant sums of money - we are looking for as many people to Give $10 as we can find! If the entire football crowd at the game yesterday supported us with $10, we would raise over $140,000 in one day! If you are not in a place where you can support us at this time, help us spread the word as far as we can!

Thank you and Go Redbirds!

Over 430 students are on the field this year! Let's make sure BRMM has what they need - instruments, uniforms, and equipment - so they can take the field and proudly represent Illinois State University.
