Longhorn Band members required to play The Eyes of Texas song

After weeks of uncertainty over whether members of the University of Texas Longhorn Band would be required to play the school s controversial alma mater, The Eyes of Texas, student musicians have an answer. Despite previous messaging that no student would be forced to sing or play the song, the school announced Wednesday that Longhorn Band members will be required to play it. Additionally, the school said that for students who do not want to play The Eyes of Texas, a new band will be formed in 2022. This separate band will not include the alma mater as required repertoire. The song has been a key point of contention between students, alumni and administrators. At the beginning of March, a 24-person committee commissioned by UT President Jay Hartzell found the song to have racist origins but no racist intent.

My last comment on TEOT

My last comment on TEOT It looks like The Daily Roundup comments have already been closed. That was fast!!! This TEOT thing is only being kept alive by the media and UT sports sites. The committee did the best that they could, but it looks like the people who want to see it banned weren t going to accept their findings unless they aligned exactly with what they already thought [in many ways based on falsehoods and vague guilt by association arguments]. Five minutes of Google the other night led me to the likely melodic origins of The Levee Song or I ve Been Working on the Railroad and it was a piece of music that was written in homage to the peasant class in their struggle against the feudalists. Isn t there something good to be seen from that?
