In May of 2002, Florida International University began its quest to create an Athletic Marching Band to help support the fans and teams of the University. Under the Direction of Dr. M. Gregory Martin, on August 29th of 2002, the first whistle was blown and the Golden Panther Band(GPB) came storming onto the field, bringing energy, and entertainment to the masses. For 7 Years, the GPB has helped raise the spirit of students, faculty, staff, players, alumni, and the entire community.

Due to budget cuts, Florida International University (FIU), has had to release some of its programs last year, many of them being educational programs. This year, more cuts have been made and now the Marching Band has been placed on the axe. Help us change that, and keep the Marching Band alive. Without it, the repercussions will be felt all across campus:

-Trail of the Torch without music.
- FIU Open Houses without live music.
- Homecoming Parade without music.
- MLK Parade without music.
- President events without live music.
- Pep-rallies without Alma Mater or Fight Song.
- Football games without a pre-game or halftime show.
- Volleyball games, basketball games without live music.
- Football team goes up to The Swamp next season, no marching band while UF has a 300+ marching band.
- Football team earns first Bowl Game in its history, no marching band.
- Brand new stadium, attendance increases, alumni support increases, no marching band to perform Alma Mater, Fight Song, variety of pep tunes.
- The only Division-I University without a marching band.
- Nationally televised games and events, no marching band or athletic band of any sort.
- Volleyball team continues their success, NCAA bids, no volleyball band.
- Basketball teams continue their success, no basketball band.
- and the list goes on.

Join us in our cause to keep the Golden Panther Band alive. Sign this petition and let it be known that FIU will not lose it's spirit.
