About the IU Marching Hundred

Indiana University’s famed Marching Hundred is the product of a tradition which dates back to the organization of the first band at Indiana in 1896. Originally founded to provide recreation for interested students, the 22-piece band of 1896 grew to 47 members by 1913.

Each season the Marching Hundred performs live before thousands of fans as well as for national television and radio audiences. The band produces video and audio tapes of its outstanding performances each year.

The Big Ten has long been noted for outstanding marching bands and the Marching Hundred has long led the field in terms of spirit, innovation, and musical quality. Numerous college and high school bands utilize elements of Indiana’s rehearsal procedure and marching style. The Marching Hundred combines marching precision and musical brilliance seldom matched in the conference.

In 2007, the Marching Hundred was the recipient of the Sudler Trophy, naming it as the outstanding college marching band in the country.

In 2012, the Marching Hundred was the only band in the country to be selected to perform at Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. Every appearance of the band reinforces the motto of the Marching Hundred: A Tradition of Excellence.
