In a moment of musical triumph and school pride, the Texas Longhorns Marching Band has been named the World’s Best Marching Band by ESPN following a groundbreaking performance that stunned a global audience. The announcement came shortly after their headline set at the International Bands Showcase, where the Longhorns delivered an electrifying routine that combined flawless musical precision, innovative choreography, and iconic Texas flair.
Broadcast live to over 30 countries, the performance quickly went viral across social media platforms. Viewers were left in awe as the band flawlessly executed complex formations, including a moving replica of the UT Tower and a dazzling tribute to Texas legends.

But this latest honor elevates them to global recognition, cementing their place in marching band history. Band Director Dr. Cliff Croomes called the award “a testament to our students’ relentless dedication and the power of music to unite.”
Fans, alumni, and students are already planning celebrations across Austin and beyond, with many calling this the band’s “national championship moment.”
From the shadow of the UT Tower to the world stage, the Texas Longhorns Marching Band has proven what generations of Longhorns have always known: Texas is not just big — it’s the best.
