The history of Florida State University’s Marching Chiefs is chronicled, from early efforts to form a band before the 1939 establishment of Florida State College for Women, to the Chiefs’ attainment of
world renowned
status. The band’s leaders, shows and music are discussed, along with the origins of some of their venerable traditions, game-day rituals and school songs, including the
Alma Mater,
the Fight Song, and the
Hymn to the Garnet and Gold.
The story of the Chiefs takes in the growth of FSU and its School of Music, the rise of
Big Football
in Tallahassee and the transformations on campus and in American society that affected them.
