The West Chester University "Incomparable" Golden Rams Marching Band (IGRMB) is the marching band for West Chester University, a public university in West Chester, Pennsylvania and is part of the university's Wells School Of Music.[1]
The largest student organization at West Chester University, the band is composed of over 300 students from more than 60 majors and involves students from every segment of the campus population. They perform pre-game, halftime, or post-game at all home West Chester University football games. The band also performs in parades and high school marching band competitions in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, and at the annual Collegiate Marching Band Festival in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The first documented reference to a marching band at West Chester University of Pennsylvania can be traced back to the institution's beginnings as a State Normal School. The Normal Band was organized on November 22, 1889, principally to furnish march music for a military company composed of students. This group would be the predecessor of the West Chester University Marching Band of contemporary times.[2]
