History

The marching band began in 1918 as a regimental band performing military drills and assisting with music at Sunday schools. The band evolved from a service band to a part of the school’s Department of Music. In the fall of 1964, the band debuted its new name, The SC State Marching 101 Band. [2]

Appearances

The 101 has made many appearances throughout the country, ranging from local events and bowl parades to NFL games. [2] They have also appeared in the VH1 movie Drumline: A New Beat and won Atlanta's annual Honda Battle of the Bands competition in 2011 and 2014. [2]

Other rivalries include the North Carolina A & T University "Blue & Gold Marching Machine."
