Hubba Doc! Happy birthday to ALL Marching 100 members, directors and alums.
June 1, 1946 - William P. Foster became Director of Bands at Florida A & M University with 16 members, and created what is known today as "The Most Imitated Marching Band in America." He is credited with revolutionizing marching band techniques and reshaping the world's concept of the collegiate marching band. His textbook "Band Pageantry" is considered to be "The Bible" for the marching band.  Websites: FAMU.edu   famubands.com
