Over the years there have been a number of directors of the marching band including, in order, Jefferson, Harry Lemert, Ralph Reschar, Harvey Nelson, Francis H. Burke, Joe Barry Mullins, B. Mack Hearne, Lowery Riggins, White and Steven Pederson.

Jason Rinehart became the director of athletic bands in 2007, and in 2016, Steven Pederson returned to direct the Sound of Today.

Each year the Sound of Today produced an album of its "greatest hits", music from the half time shows of that football season.

The excellence maintained by the program resulted in routine trips to play halftime shows for the New Orleans Saints in the Super Dome.
