University of Texas

The University of Texas Longhorn Band (or LHB) was founded in 1900. Envisioning marching bands as an inspiring addition to the turn of the century football season, the first director recruited 16 student and purchased $150 worth of instruments at a local pawn shop in downtown Austin. LHB, the largest organization on the UT campus today with nearly 350 participants, is considered the backbone of school pride.
