Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie spoke with guest of honor, Ray E. Cramer, during the official building dedication ceremony of the Ray E. Cramer Marching Hundred Hall.
The Marching Hundred, which dates back to IU’s first 22-piece band in 1896, is a class for which students receive academic credit. Today, nearly 300 musicians comprise the Marching Hundred. Students audition for the band and perform at IU football games as well as other guest performances such as the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
The new building includes a large rehearsal hall and two smaller rehearsal rooms. The facility houses instrument and uniform storage as well as repair space
