Made up of students from the university, the BAM organizes activities throughout the year on campus and at numerous off-campus events, making it a flagship student organization.

In its article, *Le Dauphiné Libéré* highlights the group’s constant renewal, driven by successive classes of students. This dynamic helps make the BAM a marching band in constant evolution, true to its values of “kindness, love, and music,” which helps bring life to the Saint-Martin-d’Hères campus. Beyond music, the Bande à Migou is also a place of learning: event planning, nonprofit management, teamwork, and more—all skills that enrich the students’ educational experience.

 

Who is Migou? 

“The king of instruments at BAM is the souba (short for sousaphone), the big white instrument that lets them play bass in their songs. They renamed it Migou, in honor of the yeti in *Tintin*, since the yeti is the emblem of Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA.”
