Support one hundred years of Bands at Central Michigan University!
In Fall 1923, Music Department Head J. Harold Powers enlisted sixteen players and, with the assistance of Registrar and Dean of Men Charles C. Barnes, formed a new Central Normal Band to lend spirit to Football Games. From that first appearance to today, the Central Band program has continued to be integral to campus life and has grown in excellence and stature.
All Central Band Alumni have shared in the development of our strong traditions of musicianship, excellence, and leadership. We hope that YOU can join us this fall as we celebrate ONE HUNDRED YEARS of Bands at Central!
A sincere thank you to the CMU community for being so generous and Fired Up to celebrate 131 years of CMU with us. Our Giving Week is now complete, and crucial support is going back to CMU students. Thank you for continuing to ignite the path for our students and CMU traditions!
There is still time to participate in CMU’s 131st Anniversary giving celebration. Contribute to the CMU fund or scholarship that matters most to you! #cmu131
