The University of Texas Longhorn Band, also known as the Showband of the Southwest or LHB, is the marching band of The University of Texas at Austin. The Longhorn Band was founded in 1900 by a distinguished professor of chemistry, Dr. Eugene P. Schoch. The band is currently under the direction of Dr. Robert Carnochan and associate directors Dr. Scott S. Hanna and Mr. Anthony Marinello. The band performs at all in-state football games, for various Texas Longhorn Athletics teams, and at special pep rallies and parades throughout the year. The band includes about 350 students, all of whom must register for a year-round course offered by UT's School of Music.
