Fun Fact: I painted a Uconn Marching Band wall mural inside my former band directors office.


Please write a quote about your UConn and/or UCMB experience.


A friend of mine who was my former high school band director had been a member of the Uconn Marching Band for 5 years. She was such an inspiration to me in many ways, and thus inspired me to join the marching band. I started in Uconn’s West Hartford campus my first semester of freshman year, so I was unable to join as a freshman, but did join pep band to become involved as soon as I came to Storrs. Even in the two years I have spent as a member of the marching band, the saxophone section has become the group of friends I spend most of my time with in various activities. Being a part of all this has really enhanced my college experience, and I wouldn’t change it for anything else.

Lauren McGrane


Section/Position:  Alto Saxophone

Major: Sociology

Hometown: Winchester, CT

Favorite Candy: Ferrero Rocher

Fun Fact: I've eaten kangaroo!

Lauren's UConn and/or UCMB experience: The UCMB has been vital to my college experience. After my father sadly passed away my sophomore year, I joined the UCMB and was blessed with so much. The UCMB gave me so much more than the opportunity to return to marching band. It gave me my best friends, and I couldn't be more thankful. From participating in Lipsync, HuskyTHON , and intramural sports to going to Late Night or basketball games or watching the Ellen show, I do these things with my best friends. I have the most amazing friends and support system, and I have the UCMB to thank for that.
