The Sound of the Golden Hurricane is the school marching band for the University of Tulsa, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band has been under the direction of Dr. Kenneth G. Grass, M.M.Ed. for a number of years, and plays a style of music similar to that of drum corps. [TU Band website - http://www.orgs.utulsa.edu/tuband/Marching.htm
Some information comes from personal interviews conducted with Prof. Kenneth Grass by Brandon Lynge in the fall of 2005.]
The band performs at every home game for the Golden Hurricane football team in Skelly Stadium, as well as selected away games and bowl appearances. The band also performs at many men's and women's basketball games at the University of Tulsa's Reynolds Center. The band has appeared on several Tulsa news stations and ESPN broadcasts of TU football games. The band has performed at several bowl games, including the Harvest Bowl, Liberty Bowl, and the inaugural Armed Forces Bowl.
The Sound of the Golden Hurricane is officially considered a part of the TU curriculum: students may earn academic credit for marching in the band, though this is not mandatory for participation. [School of Music course information - http://www.cas.utulsa.edu/music/student_handbook/course_info.htm#course_numbers] During the fall and spring semesters the band also performs a number of public and private concerts.
