MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE MARCHING WOLVERINE BAND
The origin of the band can be traced as far back as 1923. The average membership enrollment was approximately 15 to 20 members including auxiliary squads. In 1962, Mr. Cleopas R. Johnson was hired as Head Band Director by then music department chairperson Dr. G. Johnson Hubert. Subsequently the band has gone on to perform in some of the largest events in the world including two appearances in the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena California and five appearances in the New York Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as well as making appearances on national and international television. The band had grown from the original ten members to over three hundred and twenty-eight playing. From 1962 to 1996 the band had undergone a major metamorphosis under the tutelage and leadership of the late Mr. Cleopas R. Johnson.
