Welcome, stranger, to the Stringatronics section page! We pride ourselves in being the coolest group in the MOB, and the best “marching” strings section you’ll find anywhere (and marching electronics, can you believe that???). EVEN THOUGH our instruments require the power of Thor to be heard, EVEN THOUGH none of us knew what marching was like before we joined the MOB (I’m still not sure what it is), and EVEN THOUGH we can seem homeless as our instruments don’t fit into other sections, we’ve found a place to call home, make friends and continue playing our instruments.

We are the most noticeable section in the band because no other band marches electric basses, guitars, cellos, violins, accordions, kazoos, and more. If you have no clue about any of this “marching” business? Fret not, because neither did we (and like I said before, I’m still not sure what any of it is)! We’ll make it work no matter what instrument you want to take on the field (whether it’s strapping a cello to yourself via harness or wheeling around a keyboard) and have fun while doing it. The best part about the section isn’t the music though. It’s the weekly section bonding over dinner, late nights, and spontaneous boba adventures. We’ll equip you with all the equipment you need, and amazing company on and off the field. As a bonus, we also have instruments you can borrow if you don’t want to expose your own to the elements, but rain or shine, we always have our infinite stash of signature specialty kazoos – our most iconic tradition and one that I’m certain every other section is jealous of.

On a personal note, I’m extremely grateful to call the Stringatronics section my home. I couldn’t ask for a better, more welcoming community. Whether it’s doing our signature tunnel dance before games or sprinting in a herd towards the band hall to protect our instruments during a sudden rainstorm, we are always making fun (and usually very chaotic) memories together. No matter your level of experience or music knowledge, if you want to call the Stringatronics section your home too, I know you will be welcomed with open arms (and immediately given a kazoo and encouraged to go cause chaos… I don’t make the rules).
