The Cavalier Marching Band is a marching band at the University of Virginia. The band's director, William Pease, is the first full-time marching band director in the history of the University of Virginia. A newcomer among the ranks of collegiate marching bands, the Cavalier Marching Band was formed in 2004 after a funding gift in 2003 by University of Virginia benefactor Carl Smith. The portion of the gift specifically earmarked to endow a new marching band was $1.5 million, and an additional $22 million was included towards a new performing arts center.

In the years leading up to the formation of the Cavalier Marching Band, the University of Virginia had grown to be the largest university in Division I without a marching band. With some elements of the university's administration, alumni, and students desiring the removal of the Virginia Pep Band for many years, followed by the banning of that band from all future Continental Tire Bowls, the Athletics Department received emails and phone calls, some of which called for the end of the pep band and the establishment of a university marching band. The Director of the Pep Band Adam Lorentson said at the time that cost is the key reason the University does not have a traditional marching band [1] and was proven right when Carl Smith's multi-million dollar donation made the new U.Va. marching band a reality.

One of William Pease's first moves as band director was to invite members of the Pep Band to join the Cavalier Marching Band. Three Pep Band members "crossed the line", but others declined. In further recruitment efforts, Pease went on to offer positions in the band to musicians at Piedmont Virginia Community College. The Cavalier Marching Band had 170 pieces at the beginning of its first year. Over 90% of members were UVa students; nearly 100% were from the greater Charlottesville community. Piedmont Virginia Community College is a 2-year, post-secondary educational institution located in Albemarle County, Virginia immediately south of Charlottesville. ...


Although the Cavalier Band is still relatively new, some songs that they play are nearly 100 years old. Pease was given university songbooks from 1907 upon his arrival, and at the 2004 debut featured such songs as "The Orange and the Blue" and "The Virginia Yell Song" that had not been heard at Virginia athletics events in almost a century. 1907 (MCMVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

In the fall of 1974, the band adopted the Ivy League scramble band style, beginning the modern era of the band.
The new band is run by a professional band director and staff, as opposed to the Pep Band, whose director and managing board are elected from among its student members.
Pep Band Director Adam Lorentson said at the time that "cost is the key reason the University does not have a traditional marching band." After that obstacle was cleared with a donation from Carl Smith, Lorentson was proven right as the Cavalier Marching Band was founded.
