The year 2009 marked the 110th anniversary of the founding of the Penn State Marching Blue Band. What began in 1899 as a six-member drum and bugle corps has burgeoned to over 300 members comprising one of the nation's premier collegiate marching units. The events of the Blue Band's history over these past ten years have offered repeated and conclusive proof of that fact--the University-wide campaign to build the band a state-of-the-art home on campus; receiving unexpected appreciation from the world of high fashion; the long-overdue recognition of a legacy of excellence with the Sudler Trophy. This volume chronicles an extraordinary decade in the already rich tradition that is the Penn State Blue Band--and pays tribute to those students who have worked hard for the right to don that iconic uniform and march Into the Game, for Penn State's Fame.
