Howard College Band

The Howard band was organized in September, 1923, under the able directorship of Professor Fred G. Wiegand. Although the first time such an enterprise has been undertaken here, it has proven a tremendous accomplishment. At first only about fifteen members could be mustered and success seemed impossible, but by November there were over thirty enrolled, and on the day of the Birmingham-Southern- Howard game forty-four uniformed "Sousarites" gave spirit to the fracas. From that number thirty earned their letters.

"We are firmly founded now and our greatest desire is that the sound which rang out that September morning may be perpetually relayed throughout all the sessions which are to follow and so establish our present bright hope into a magnificent tradition. "
