B AND /C HOIR /O RCHESTRA
When Conrad Hutchinson Jr. arrived
here in 1952, he had a plan to make
the Grambling College Marching Band
the best in the land. It didn’t happen
overnight and it certainly wasn’t easy,
but "Hutch" and his staff began mold-
ing embryo noise-makers into superb
musicians and magnificent marchers,
and today, his prized unit is frequently
labeled, “The Best in the Land.” “The
World Fame“ Tiger Marching Band.
Grambling State University events that utilize the performance of the university choir include convocations,
lyceums, and commencement exercises. The Choir also participates in a number of musicals, tours,
festivals, and concerts throughout the academic year.
The Grambling State University Symphonic Orchestra, another musical group housed in the Department of
Music, further showcases the talent of GSU students.
