The Oregon Marching Band (OMB) is the marching band of the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon, United States. With over 250 members, it is the largest student organization on campus, and its members come from nearly every department and major at the university. The marching band serves as the foundation for the larger Oregon Athletic Bands organization that includes the Oregon Basketball Band, Winter Drumline, and the Green and Yellow Garter Bands.

The OMB performs at all home football games at Autzen Stadium, selected away games, and bowl games. Some of the OMB's recent travels have taken them to Seattle, Washington; Pullman, Washington; Las Vegas, Nevada; El Paso, Texas; San Diego, California; Pasadena, California; Glendale, Arizona; Palo Alto, California; and San Antonio, Texas. Other aspects of Oregon athletics, such as women's volleyball, are also supported by the OMB.^[1] The OMB also hosts a large high school marching band competition every fall known as the Festival of Bands.

Organization

The Oregon Marching Band employs several instructors and Graduate Teaching Fellows (GTFs) to assist in the teaching and administration of the band.

Leadership

The OMB is largely run by its many student leaders. These include drum majors, section leaders, uniform manager, equipment (truck) crew, garter band members, and the Oregon Athletic Band Council. For the 2015–2016 season, the OMB is led by head drum major Lexie Richter and President Kaden Christensen.

History

1908 – University Course Catalogs list a University Band dating back to 1908.
1910s – Albert Perfect, along with student Dewitt Gilbert, wrote the fight song, Mighty Oregon. The song was first performed on March 4, 1916 (Register Guard, 11-13-81).
1911 – According to the 1916 Oregana, the University Band began in 1911 with Maurice Hyde as Director.
1915 – Albert Perfect was hired as the first salaried band director at the University of Oregon.
1917 – The band was asked to serve as the University Battalion. This arrangement started a long association for the University Band with the Military Department on campus.
1918 – Perfect organized a Ladies Band (also known as the Women’s Band). The Ladies Band was the first on the West Coast (existed until 1919)
1919 – Ross Hickernell was hired to replace Perfect. After only one year Hickernell left the University.
1919 – John Stark Evans, a music professor at the School of Music, wrote “Pledge to Oregon” in 1919. The Oregon Marching Band of the present day sings “Pledge to Oregon” in four parts after Oregon football games.
1920 – After Hickernell left, no replacement was hired for many years. Instead the Military Department handled the band program. During this time the United States government financed the Military Band and the directors of the band were not listed as part of the School of Music faculty.
1920-29 – The University Course Catalog does not list a University Band as an organization (nor was the Military Band).
1926 – The University Band was placed back under the jurisdiction of the School of Music.
1928 – The University Band performed with John Philip Sousa and his band when they visited Eugene in 1928.
1929 – John Stehn was hired to replace Ferris. Under Stehn’s direction the University Band gave its first halftime performance at a football game in 1929.
1936 – During the 1936-1937 school year the School of Music finally got the class entitled “band” moved to the music section of the Schedule of Classes. Before this the class was under the Military Department.
1936 – The present course number for band, 195/395, was established.
1941 – The marching band had female baton twirlers. This is the first mention of women in the marching band.
1940s – During World War II the Army Special Training Units (ASTU) trained at the University. Stehn was able to organize a forty-piece ASTU band that was of extremely high caliber.
1940s – During World War II women once again stepped up to take over the men’s job of playing at home football games, but the band remained in the stands. During this time the band also gave several concerts.
1947 – An Advisory Board (later known as Oregon Marching Band Council and finally as Oregon Athletic Band Council) was created to establish contact between the band and the Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO).
1950 – John Stehn retired as the Director of Bands in 1950 but he was still in the School of Music for a few years. He is, in a sense, the "founding father" of the modern band department at the University.
1950 – The position of Director of Bands was split between two people for the first time. Robert Vagner and Ira Lee were hired to lead the band into the next extraordinary era. Vagner was to lead the Concert Bands and Lee the Athletic Bands.
1953 – There was a significant change in the description of the band. The 1953-1954 course catalog described the band as follows: “Membership in the University Bands is open to both men and women students from all divisions of the University…” This was the first time the words “Marching Band” appeared anywhere in a course catalog.
1963 – A precision dance group, called the “Oregonettes” was formed. There is nothing written about what they did, or whether they used flags, dancing, rifles, or batons, but it is the earliest indication of having a Color guard.
1967 – With the opening of Autzen Stadium, the Marching Band had a new home. Prior to Autzen Stadium all home football games were at Hayward Field.
1967 – The band introduced new uniforms.
1970 – The Vietnam War began in this era, and once again the war years affected the marching band but in different ways than previously. The exact date can not be determined, but the marching band did not exist for one to three years.
1975 – Quote in Oregana about “the on-again, off-again marching band . . . the group was disbanded six years ago but revived in 1971 when the athletic department realized it was essential if the football program was to gain television exposure.”
1970s – Students of the University didn’t support the band very much during the Vietnam War. Marching band is fairly militaristic, and uniforms and marching didn’t have a very good image. It reminded students of the war and that upset them. “Students booed the band,” according to members of the Marching Band at that time.
1975 – Roger Senders, a member of the marching band, wanted marching band to meet the PE requirement. Senders wrote a formal proposal to the Dean of the College of Health on November 20, 1975 describing why marching band should be counted for four years of physical education credit. It is a fascinating proposal but no mention is made of whether it was approved or denied.
June 6, 1975 – The lyrics to the “Oregon Pledge Song” were changed. The words “Swear thy ev’ry son” were changed to “Swear thy ev’ryone.”
1976 – Gerald Poe was hired to direct the marching band. Poe starts the Festival of Bands competition.
1978 – The title of “Marching Band” was given to the marching band as its course title.
1983 – Steve Paul was hired and built the marching band up from 90 members his first year to over 250 members.
1983 – The Green Garter Band, a scholarship band that plays for all athletic events, started and was so named because members wore green garters on their arms.
1985 – Members of the Green Garter Band receive full scholarships. Once the band received full scholarships, perspective members had to audition into the band.
1985 – Oregon Marching Band creates “Duck Lips,” a noisemaker the band has sold as a fundraiser since.
mid-1980s – The band receives new uniforms and were made and designed by Lane County businesses. Because of Oregon’s weather, the uniforms were unique in that they were waterproof. They also came with a full cape attachment that provided color contrast and also was worn to keep warm. The hats were Aussie style and helped keep the rain off the members shoulders and faces.
1995 – University of Oregon reaches the Rose Bowl.
1995 – Sid Haton hired as Marching Band director.
1999 – Sid Haton leaves his position as Marching Band director and Todd Zimbelman is hired.

Songs

The Oregon Marching Band plays a wide variety of songs designed to add to the atmosphere of Autzen Stadium's game day. The fight song of the Ducks is former director Albert Perfect's "Mighty Oregon". For the most part, the OMB plays popular tunes from the last 40 years. Some fan favorites include Journey's "Separate Ways", the theme song from Disney's "DuckTales", "Louie Louie"", "Ease On Down The Road" from The Wiz, numerous charts by Earth, Wind & Fire, and dozens of BBQs. Newer additions include "Bad Romance", "Winner", and "All of the Lights"

Fine for BBQ's

"Fine For BBQ's", usually referred to as simply "BBQs", is a collection of short stands tunes. Usually played by the band in the stands, some of the longer BBQs, such as "Come on Eileen" and "Walking on Sunshine", are used during pregame, battle of the bands and other performances. The specific songs included have changed over the years as new songs have been added and old ones have been removed. Many of the BBQs are based on popular music. Some recent additions include "Till the World Ends" and "Party Rock Anthem."

Prime Cuts

"Prime Cuts" is a newer collection of short stand tunes. Usually the band plays these when certain football players make good plays. For example: Marcus Mariota's theme song was "Hawaii Five-O" and Vernon Adam's theme sing is "California Love". Other notable songs in the collection include "Shots", "Menance", and "Wrecking Ball"

Uniforms

The Oregon Marching Band shares the same rights of their athletics programs in what they wear, giving them access to Nike-designed uniforms. For the 2008-09 season the OMB received a new style of uniforms to replace the older set of uniforms that were used from 2003 through the 2007 season, which included green wool jackets and bib pants that blended into Autzen Stadium's turf and dark green motorcycle helmets, which some fans likened to those worn by Nazi storm troopers during World War II. Those uniforms were a gift in 2003 from University of Oregon alumni and cofounder of Nike Phil Knight. The new band uniforms were designed in partnership with the school's new football and cheerleading uniforms in an effort to give Oregon football game day a brand as well as what they feel is a unique style.^[3] The end result put an emphasis on the marching band being "athletic". While the 2003 uniforms met with mixed reactions, including the ire of alumni and donors, the new 2008 uniforms were immediately welcomed.

Gameday uniform

Like that of the Oregon football team, the marching band's uniform has many levels of customization by pairing different all-Nike equipment together, such as:

Pants: Black Nike athletic pants with a silver mesh stripe down the sides
Shirts: Green Nike Drifit long sleeve and a green Nike Drifit long sleeve turtle neck (for cold weather, worn under other Drifit), both worn under vest
Vest: Yellow/White reversible vest with carbon-fiber "O" on the front
Jacket: Nike black travel jacket with carbon-fiber "O" on the front
Hats: a variety of green, yellow hats, worn during different quarters of the game
Shoes: custom black Nike Free running shoes with the Nike+ capabilities
T-shirts: green "Oregon Marching Band" T-shirts (additional shirts received for bowl games)
Polos: green Nike "Oregon Marching Band" polo
OBB, GGB and YGB get their own polos.
Students must provide their own slacks and black socks.

The green helmets, which the band retired after the 2005 season, are currently being sold to raise money for the band.^[4]

Festival of Bands

The Festival of Bands (FOB) is an annual high school marching band competition where 30 bands from around the northwest come to compete in the Northwest Marching Band Circuit. The event is coordinated and run by the students of the Oregon Marching Band. The Festival of Bands is one of the top fundraisers for the OMB, raising about $15,000 every year. It is also used as a major recruiting tool for the Oregon Athletic Bands.

Oregon Athletic Band Council

The Oregon Athletic Band Council (OABC) is a group of students in the OMB that meets once a week throughout the school year to plan and organize many of the behind-the-scenes and logistical aspects of the OMB and other athletic bands. These aspects include Festival of Bands, the winter band banquet, the Duck Call (OMB's newsletter), recruiting, and spring intramural softball. All members of the athletics bands are automatically eligible to join OABC, and each section of each band is represented. The council is composed of several committees, headed by chair positions.

The 2015-2016 OABC council positions are as followed:

President - Kaden Christensen

Vice President and ASUO Liaison - Derek White

Secretary and Historian - Gabriella Whitehead

Public Affairs - Timmy Beick

Festival of Bands - Hana Kamata

Recruitment - Suly Gonzales

Internal Afairs, please - Alyssa Van Laar

Band Banquet - Nicole Stanger

Drum Majors:

Head: Alexandrea (Lexie) Richter

Nick Van Eekeren

Hana Kamata

Julia Fischer

OABC is run by an executive committee composed of the President, Vice President in charge of Public Relations, Vice President in charge of the Treasury, and Secretary of OABC, and the Drum Majors of OMB. Standing committees of OABC are the ASUO (student government budgetary), Public Relations, Festival of Bands, Historian, Internal Affairs, Please and Recruiting Committees. The OABC president also meets with the Director of Athletic Bands once a week to discuss concerns and to better coordinate the faculty with the students.^[5]^[6]

Other Athletic bands

Basketball Band

The Oregon Basketball Band (OBB) is a group of 50-60 OMB members who perform at all University of Oregon Men's Basketball home games. The group is auditioned from members of the OMB at the end of marching band season. Prior to January 2011, the OBB played in McArthur Court, better known as "The Pit". On January 13, 2011, the OBB, along with the rest of the OMB, the Oregon Cheerleaders and the Pit Crew, participated in the opening ceremony for the newly opened Matthew Knight Arena before the men's basketball game against USC.^[7] In addition to men's home games, the OBB plays at the women's basketball home Civil War game, and travels with both the men's and women's teams to the Pac-12 tournaments in Seattle, Washington and Las Vegas, Nevada, respectively, as well as March Madness tournaments.

Green Garter Band

Main article: Green Garter Band

The Green Garter Band (GGB) is a select group of twelve players that plays at numerous additional events for the University of Oregon.^[8] From funk to rock to hip hop, the GGB plays hundreds of high-energy student-arranged songs to entertain the hundreds of thousands they perform to every year. The group has a faculty advisor, the Director of Athletic Bands, but for the most part is entirely run by its student members. The Green Garter Band performs for all UO Women's Volleyball home games, UO Women's Basketball home games, many UO Softball home games and serves as the core unit of the OBB and OMB. Each year, the GGB also gives approximately 20-25 performances at special Athletic Department events, for the UO School of Music and Dance, for the University at large, and at various special events within the community. In return for their large commitment, Green Garter Band members are awarded scholarships equal to about 12 in-state credits. The demand for the GGB is so high that in 2002 the Yellow Garter Band (YGB) was created to help fulfill the number of requests coming in. The Yellow Garter Band is identical to its Green counterpart in most regards, but has a slightly smaller commitment. In return for their commitment, members of the YGB receive a large book scholarship every term. Together, the Green and Yellow Garter Bands have gained recognition and acclaim on campus, in the community and even nationally.^[9]
