About The University of Texas Longhorn Band
The Longhorn Band was founded in 1900 by a distinguished professor of chemistry, Dr.E.P. Schoch. Envisioning marching bands as an inspiring addition to the turn of the century football season, Dr. Schoch, along with Dr. H.E. Baxter, the first director began what was later to become "THE SHOWBAND OF THE SOUTHWEST". The sixteen charter members, who wore uniforms of white linen dusters and white caps with black bills, were not just music majors, but students from various academic disciplines. These students shared one common goal much like that of today: to promote pride and spirit throughout the University by way of musical excellence and leadership. The Longhorn Band is a year-round program offered as a course by the School of Music at The University of Texas. Registration in this course is open to any student of the various academic disciplines provided at the University of Texas. Throughout the fall, the Longhorn Band performs at all University of Texas football games.
