Razorback Marching Band to Honor the Armed Forces in Season Opener
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Razorback Marching Band will honor current and former members of the United States military with its Salute to the Services show. The marching band will perform the show when the Arkansas Razorbacks take on the University of Texas at El Paso Miners in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 5.
The show will start with John Philip Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever, performed with a classic precision military drill. The show will also feature the Armed Forces Medley. The medley will include Semper Paratus, The Wild Blue Yonder, Anchors Aweigh, The Marines' Hymn, and The Army Goes Rolling Along.
The Razorback Marching Band will be joined by 50 local high school students at the close of the show. The finale will feature a moving performance of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Benjamin Lorenzo, associate director of bands, wrote the marching drill.
"Our students are excited to share this show with our fans" said Lorenzo. "We hope our music and drill honor the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women."
The Razorback Marching Band, part of the Department of Music in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, has 350 student members representing every college in the university.
