[edit] History

The first band at Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University) was organized in 1905 by Harry Dunn, a student at the school, and directed by a Mr. Wood. It consisted of 22 members.[1]

A tradition of the band was the use of the OSU Spirit Drum. It was purchsed in the mid-1930s for the R.O.T.C. band. It was believed to be the largest drum in the country at that time.[2]
