The McMurry Indian Band, reorganized in 1946 under the present director, has be- come one of the best known college bands in the Southwest. The Indian Band, with its special groups, is in constant demand for concerts and pro- grams in this section of the country. The band lias a fourfold purpose: to pro- vide an effective public relations organiza- tion for those students who play band in- struments to continue their performance at a high artistic level; to provide opportunity for those who wish to become band directors to further their training through band par- ticipation; to nurture school spirit; and to foster a love of good music in the student body and friends of the college. Since reorganization, the band has played in Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Old Mexico. In addition to its secular program, the McMurry Band has an unique church wor- ship service that provides inspiration wher- ever it has been presented.
