The Tradition

There is a 120 year history behind each year's Cornhusker Marching Band. There are alumni -- many of whom still return each year -- who stand behind the current members of the band. There are 120 years of memories and stories about shared experiences. Often those experiences are shared across generations. In this section [as they are completed in the next few days], you'll find the highlights of this history.

• The Military Cadet Years
• The First Civilian Band Director, Don Lentz
• The Rose Bowl and Other Trips
• The Snider Years
• Band Days
• Enduring Traditions

Much of this history comes from the book University of Nebraska Band, by Gary R. Steffens, published in 1981 by the band Alumni Association. The material is used by permission and with our thanks.
