The band is composed of students from all over the country, studying in a wide range of majors from Math, Science, Engineering, Pre-Med, Business, Music and more.

These uniforms, first worn at a Baylor-SMU football game, were crafted using a bright, golden fabric.

According to one source, a reporter coined the phrase in 1929 as the Band was touring West Texas.

Upon seeing these new uniforms, he reportedly commented that the band was marching across the land like a golden wave.

According to another legend, a reporter coined the phrase around the same time after watching a line of band members disembark from a bus for a football game, believing that they looked like a wave of gold.
