The Auburn University Marching Band (AUMB)
The Auburn University Marching Band (AUMB) is the marching band of Auburn University and the 2004 recipient of the Sudler Intercollegiate Marching Band Trophy[1]. With 375 members, the band traces its origins to 1897 when M. Thomas Fullan proposed to then-president Dr. William Broun that the drum corps accompanying cadet drills be replaced with a full instrumental band. The Auburn University Marching Band performs pre-game and half-time shows at all Auburn Tigers football home games and travels to most away games. (A smaller pep band composed of AUMB members supports the Auburn Tigers at all away games the full band does not attend.) The band has marched in three inaugural parades including for Presidents Harry S. Truman (1949), George H. W. Bush (1989), and George W. Bush (2005). Unlike most college marching bands across the country, the Auburn University Marching Band does not have a nickname. It is the only band in the SEC that does not. Former Auburn University President Dr. Harry Philpott said the following about the band: "Some other institutions need to give descriptive names to their bands in order to praise them. The quality of the music, the precision of its drills, and the fine image that it portrays have made it unnecessary for us to say more than, 'This is the Auburn University Band.'"
