Activities: The band played at sporting events, the Fall Convocation, and the Winter Carnival. During sporting events, the University Band became a marching band, which was accompanied by the Majorettes.

Notes: Lord Beaverbrook outfitted the band with a complete set of instruments in the winter of 1957.
