The Razorback band is one of the oldest collegiate bands in the United States. It was formed in 1874 as the Cadet Corps Band as part of the military art department. As such, it participated in all the formalities of the Military Art Department. However it also played for football games, pageants, and commencement exercises. In 1947, following a steady post World War II growth, the Cadet Corp Band was divided into three bands, a football band, a concert band, and an R.O.T.C. band.
Since that time the football band has continued to grow and flourish. In 1956, they adopted the name MARCHING RAZORBACKS. Currently, 325 student performers thrill the crowd at every home football game with their exciting, contemporary performances, adding their contribution to the tradition of the Razorback Marching Band.
