The Cincinnati University ROTC Band was formed in 1920 by Ralph A. Van Wye, an army bandsman in World War I. The intent of this group was to play at ROTC functions. Soon after, the band began performing at the half-time of Cincinnati football games. In the early days of the UC Band, the directors acted as Drum Major for the band.
