Class
The Marching Hundred is not a paid organization and is offered as a 2 credit-hour class to both music and non-music majors. While 90% of the band is non-music majors, the other 10% is mostly music education majors fulfilling a degree requirement to participate in the Hundred for two years while only a few music majors elect to participate in the band on their own volition. The class consists of the rehearsal times, all performances, and other activities laid out at the beginning of the semester. The only instruments provided by the organization to members are mellophones, baritones, sousaphones, and percussion. All other members must provide their own instrument.
