The Frost Band of the Hour, the beloved marching band for the iconic Miami Hurricanes is a storied University of Miami institution almost as old as the University itself. This year, the band embarked on a new era with two dynamic leaders: director of athletic bands Craig McKenzie and associate director of bands Sheldon McLean, both doctoral graduates of the Frost School of Music. They’re bringing new music and energy to a group that serves as both a soundtrack and a symbol for the sports events that unite the South Florida community.

 The marching band is open to students from any school or college at the University, not just the Frost School, as well as to students from other colleges in South Florida. The multimedia team spent days with this extraordinarily talented and dedicated group behind the scenes, at rehearsals, and on the field, creating a portrait of their enthusiasm and commitment.
