[4] Under Keck's administration, the band began to focus on the music it played in the stands.

Emphasis was placed on popular music since many home-grown members had come from high schools that followed the marching traditions of historically black colleges.

[6] In 2009, Mario Cruz set a record of playing with the band for 10 years.

Under the direction of Professor Jay C. Rees, nationally recognized for his progressive approach and cutting-edge style, the Frost Band of the Hour became an ensemble of student members from all fields of study, performing challenging custom musical arrangements and contemporary, drum corps-style drill design.

Some marching band shows performed under Rees include music from artists such as Daft Punk, Rihanna, and Gloria Estefan.

[9] Alumni also play or march with the band during homecoming football games.
