      THE FIRST 50 YEARS 1905–1955

      Members of the first Georgia Military Band pose for the 1906 Pandora yearbook. Consisting ofmembers of the UGA military corps (a forerunner of the ROTC), many of whom had neverplayed an instrument in their lives, the band was led by R.E. Haughey (first row, third fromleft). Seated to Haughey’s left is Maj. James Kimbrough, PMST (Professor of Military Scienceand Tactics), the man whose efforts led to the creation of the Georgia Band.

      The first band room for the Georgia Band was located on the first floor of New College onNorth Campus (above). Built in 1823 as a classroom and dorm, it burned down in 1830 and wasrebuilt two years later. Used as a dorm and as the Pharmacy School, it now houses the offices ofthe Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, whose advisement offices occupy this space (below).(Redcoat Band Archives.)

      By 1910, the year this photo was taken, the band had grown modestly in size, with 34 bandmembers in this picture. Note the letters THWT written on the bass drum—To Hell withTech—and the lackadaisical pose of the snare drummer. The cadets standing in the last roware all buglers. (Redcoat Band Archives.)

      Herty Field, located between New College and Candler Hall, was the official football field forthe Georgia team from 1892 to 1911. Members of the band were known to come out and playtheir horns to cheer on the team, so much so that one writer for the Atlanta Journal complainedabout the incessant playing of John Brown’s Body, not knowing it was the school’s new fightsong, Glory Glory to Old Georgia, which was arranged in its current form by Hugh Hodgson,future head of the School of Music, in 1915. In the 1930s Herty Field was turned into a parkinglot, but it was reconverted to green space in 1999 (below). (1911 Pandora
