Biographical / Historical
The Hawkeye Marching Band (HMB) began as an ensemble in the Military Department in 1880, but transitioned to the fledgling School of Music under the direction of Orie Van Doren in the early 20th century. Subsequent band leaders Charles B. Righter and Frederick Ebbs completed the move in the 1940s and 1950s, as the band became known primarily for its association with collegiate sports, in particular football. Recognized in 1990 with the coveted Sudler Trophy as a “band of particular excellence who have made outstanding contributions to the American way of life.” Today, the HMB is 250 members strong and participates in many aspects of student life.
