  • THE UNIVERSITY of HOUSTON MARCHING BAND by La’Nora Jefferson
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON MARCHING BAND By La’Nora Jefferson oining the University of Houston marching band when JI arrived on campus as a freshman was a difficult but rewarding decision. In high school, I had thrown myself into the band life, participating in competitions, assuming leadership positions, and gaining some accolades, but by the end of my senior year I had had enough. Nevertheless, I could not imagine completely cutting music out of my life, so I joined the marching band, which offered a happy medium. As a new college student preoccupied with pay- ing tuition and finding housing, I did not fully understand what that decision entailed until I arrived for the band’s spirit week. Never before had I seen so many people excited to be marching and playing their instruments. The UH marching band lives up to its name, “The Spirit of Houston,” and during my two-year journey with the band, I came to understand what that moniker truly meant. Background The University of Houston marching band was founded in 1946. Any student could participate as long as they audi- tioned. Even in its early years, the marching band sup- ported the Cougars at all football and basketball games, traveling to several away games. The band led the Frontier Fiesta parade and the first football parade, making its debut as a group that was ready and willing to serve its institution. This vigor has carried on and the Spirit of Houston continues to support the Cougars at football, William I. Shepherd (center) was the founder of the Spirit of volleyball, and basketball games.
