Grand First Vice-President William A. Scroggs, founder of the fraternity, conducted the band in their first piece, Semper Fidelis.

Max A. Mitchell, Grand Second Vice-President, conducted Leonard Smith's Spanish Caprice, a piece for band and solo cornet.

The National Intercollegiate Symphonic Band, the top ensemble, was conducted by Norman Dello Joio and premiered his new work, Songs of Abelard.

The Symphonic Band also performed several other Dello Joio works, including Scenes from the Louvre, Variants on a Mediaeval Tune, and Fantasies on a Theme by Haydn.
