Historical note
|
|
Music
courses were first offered at Iowa State Agricultural College in
1869. The Department of Music was formally established in
1870. An early reference to the Iowa State University marching
band appears in the Aurora in 1881, it states that “the
marching band is attempting to re-organize.” A reference in the
I.A.C. Student, (Volume 1, Number 10; April 10, 1891)
notes that “the members were hoping for uniforms” and received
them in 1891. Recent marching bands (since 1984) have performed
at most Iowa State University home football games, and
occasionally at post-season bowl games.
