I'm with the Band: Michigan State

Band: Spartan Marching Band
University: Michigan State University
Founded: 1870
Current Director: John T. Madden
Fight Song: "MSU Fight Song"

The Spartan Marching Band is an all brass and sax band - no flutes or clarinets. The group started in 1870 with 10 members and has since grown to 300. The "MSU Fight Song" was created in 1915 by Francis Irving Lankey and Arthur Sayles by setting new lyrics to the hymn, "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus."
