USA Dedicates Marching Band Complex

The University of South Alabama (USA) has announced that its Jaguar Marching Band now has a spacious home in the $13-million Geri and Gordon Moulton Jaguar Marching Band Complex. The naming of the facility after the second USA president and his wife, in addition to a $2.5-million gift from Geri Moulton, whose husband died in 2013, was announced at the March 6 dedication. The nearly 25,000-ft² complex features a full ensemble rehearsal hall; dedicated drumline and color guard studios; dressing rooms; administrative offices; a music library; and expanded storage for uniforms, instruments, props and equipment. The complex also includes a full-sized, lighted practice field built to match Abraham A. Mitchell Field at Hancock Whitney Stadium. The complex is on the former site of USA’s transportation services building. Construction began in 2023, supported by nearly $6 million in state funding and significant commitments from the Jaguar Marching Band program and generous contributions from alumni and friends.
