In 2024, the University of Arkansas Band program celebrates its 150th anniversary. 

From a "brass band of fourteen pieces organized for special use" in the Military Department of Arkansas Industrial University in 1874 to five concert bands, a 350-member Razorback Marching Band, and a 140-member Hogwild Pep Band today, the program has grown and thrived over the years, embodying the spirit of the University.

To celebrate the program's history, the Museum is highlighting band materials from the collections. Click "Museum Band Collections" in the sidebar to view them.
