  • The Life and Legacy of Frank Terry Greer and His Influences on Historically Black College and University Bands
    1 THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF FRANK TERRY GREER AND HIS INFLUENCES ON HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY BANDS BY MICHAEL LLOYD SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE DR. MEGAN M. SHERIDAN, CHAIR DR. MATTHEW D. SCHATT, MEMBER A CAPSTONE PROJECT PRESENTED TO THE COLLEGE OF THE ARTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MUSIC IN MUSIC EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2016 Running head: FRANK T. GREER 2 Abstract Frank Terry Greer was the second Director of Bands at Tennessee State University from 1951- 1972. During his tenure, he developed the marching band to become the nationally known Aristocrat of Bands. The purpose of this historical study was to preserve the history and accomplishments Greer garnered in his illustrious career. Through the research of historical documents and interviews of a former student of Greer’s and the current Tennessee State band staff, this historical study examined who Frank Greer was, how he challenged the norms of the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) music programs, and how his work at Tennessee State contributed to the history of the school and the evolution of the Aristocrat of Bands. The findings of this study revealed that Greer not only prepared his school, music department, and band to compete with other HBCUs, but also took Tennessee State’s music program to the national stage, placing them in the same realm as the bigger flagship institutions in America. Keywords: Historically Black College and University, HBCU, Tennessee State University, marching band, Aristocrat of Bands FRANK T. GREER 3 The Life and Legacy of Frank Terry Greer and His Influences on Historically Black College and University Bands The band programs, especially the marching bands, are the cornerstones of many Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).

  • The Professional Career of African-American Bandmaster
    Article 19 Research Perspectives in Music Education The Professional Career 18(2), 19-33 © 2016 The Florida Music of African-American Education Association Bandmaster William Patrick Foster Nicholas Thomas, Florida A&M University Abstract This study provides a record of the professional life of William Patrick Foster in a historical context, including the cultural differences and social inequalities that characterized society during his career; and to assess his impact on instrumental music. Foster, an African-American music educator, exerted a lasting influence on his professional field, particularly in the areas of instrumental music and marching band techniques at the secondary, collegiate, and university levels. These questions were posed: (1) What innovations in marching band techniques and advances in music education, particularly instrumental music education, can be attributed to Foster? (2) What contributions did Foster make in the bandmaster community at large, and what was his influence on the culture and development of band programs in African-American communities? (3) What was Foster’s personal influence on the profession in general? Keywords Band, African-American, Conductor, William Patrick Foster, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) “MARCHING 100” Introduction The purpose of this study was to provide a record of the professional life of William Patrick Foster (1919-2011) in its historical context, and to assess his impact on instrumental music, while affecting, changing, and coping with the cultural differences and social inequalities pres- ent during his professional career. The study was based on the hypothesis that Foster, as a music educator, exerted a lasting influence on his professional field, particularly in the areas of instru- mental music and marching band techniques at the secondary, collegiate, and university levels.

She took on a student that was not engaged in research within her specialization, entertained and engaged with my ever-evolving dissertation ideas without belittling them (even when, looking back, they deserved it), and graciously stayed on as my co-advisor after changing universities (a prime opportunity to jettison me and my loose ties to her work).
