NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KTRE) - More than 500 people took to Homer Bryce Stadium Saturday night to celebrate 100 years of Stephen F. Austin State University's band.

About 200 alumni joined current students during the weekend celebration.

Alumni and students share the fieldFred Allen was the director of bands at Stephen F. Austin (SFA) for over 20 years."I think even the current students understand their legacy is what was given to them by these alums who are marching beside them in the pregame in the halftime. They see these older people out there marching and they're very respectful of the fact that they created something many years ago that still exists today," Allen said.
