Marching Band
The team marching band is called the Marching Ravens. They began as the Colts marching band and have operated continuously from September 7, 1947 to the present. They helped campaign for football to return to Baltimore after the Colts move. The Washington Redskins are the only other NFL team that currently has a marching band.

Famous quotes containing the words marching and/or band:
“John Brown’s body lies a-moldering in the grave,
His soul is marching on.”
—Thomas Brigham Bishop (1835–1905)
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
