Chippewa Marching Band Championship Fund

Support over one hundred years of Bands at Central Michigan University during GivingTuesday! 

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.
