| ALBUM NOTES |
Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma are proud to present the 2023 National Intercollegiate Band (NIB). Open to all qualified
collegiate musicians, the NIB brings members face to baton with some of the most dynamically stimulating composers and respected
conductors in America. Dr. F. Lee Bowling, Kappa Kappa Psi National President (Alpha Iota, University of Colorado) from 1941-1947,
is regarded as the Founder of the National Intercollegiate Band. The NIB was Bowlings cherished idea, and through the years he
worked to develop a plan that firmly established the organization as a national service project for the Fraternity and Sorority.
The first NIB performed as part of the 14th Biennial Convention of Kappa Kappa Psi in 1947 at Oklahoma A&M College (now
Oklahoma State University) in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and featured 125 select student musicians from more than 16 colleges. The
program from this concert featured 11 musical selections and 10 different conductors including Bowling, Charles Wiley, Hugh E.
McMillen, J. Lee Burke, William A. Scroggs, and Dr. Bohumil Makovsky. The concert opened with John Philip Sousa famous march,
