Book Description
Frank Terry Greer was the second Director of Bands at Tennessee State University from 1951-1972. During his tenure, he developed the marching band to become the nationally known Aristocrat of Bands. The purpose of this historical study was to preserve the history and accomplishments Greer garnered in his illustrious career. Through the research of historical documents and interviews of a former student of Greer's and the current Tennessee State band staff, this historical study examined who Frank Greer was, how he challenged the norms of the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) music programs, and how his work at Tennessee State contributed to the history of the school and the evolution of the Aristocrat of Bands. The findings of this study revealed that Greer not only prepared his school, music department, and band to compete with other HBCUs, but also took Tennessee State's music program to the national stage, placing them in the same realm as the bigger flagship institutions in America.
