Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma Kappa Kappa Psi was established in 1919 at Oklahoma State University. The Fraternity is located on more than 200 college/university campuses in the United States.
Established on the campus of Texas Tech University in 1946, Tau Beta Sigma maintains more than 130 chapters on college/university campuses throughout the United States.
As members of the National Honorary Band Fraternity and Sorority, more than 90,000 band students have devoted their efforts to strengthen their band through group and individual service projects. Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma operate as student serviceorganizations whose primary objective is to assist collegiate band directors in developing leadership and enthusiasm through service to their band programs.
Membership responsibilities provide the band with organized and concentrated service activities that are not duplicated by other organizations. Membership offers a variety of opportunities for talented student musicians having an interest in musical performance, organization, and leadership experiences. In addition, it facilitates unique social activities that can contribute significantly to the college experience.
History of the National Intercollegiate Band Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma are proud to present the 2013 National Intercollegiate Band (NIB). Open to all qualified collegiate musicians, the NIB brings members face-to-baton with some of the most dynamically stimulating composers and respected conductors in America. Dr. F. Lee Bowling, Kappa Kappa Psi National President (Alpha Iota, University of Colorado) from 1941-1947, is regarded as the “Founder of the National Intercollegiate Band.” The NIB was Bowling’s cherished idea, and through the years he worked to develop a plan that firmly established the organization as a national service project for the Fraternity and Sorority.
The first NIB performed as part of the 14th Biennial Convention in 1947 at Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University) in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and featured 125 select student musicians from more than 16 colleges. The program from this concert featured 11 musical selections and ten different conductors - including Bowling, Charles Wiley, Hugh E. McMillen, J. Lee Burke, William A. Scroggs, and Dr. Bohumil Makovsky. The concert opened with John Philip Sousa’s famous march, Semper Fidelis (“always faithful”).

During the administration of Grand President Hugh E. McMillen (Alpha Iota, 1951-1953), the Fraternity adopted one of its most innovative and noteworthy continuing activities. Brother McMillen saw in the National Intercollegiate Band and its sponsoring Fraternity and Sorority the perfect vehicle for a lasting contribution to the field of concert band literature. He proposed a program to commission a special work for concert band by a noteworthy composer in Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma’s name. World premiere renditions have been a highlight of National Intercollegiate Band concerts since 1953.
The Commissioning Program of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma has made a significant impact on band music in America. Both organizations have presented the college and university bands of the nation with more solid evidence that they are “Building Better Bands.” Since its creation, the program has been responsible for more than 30 new pieces of band literature and is considered one of our most important national programs.

(Redacted) By John Mackey2013 Kappa Kappa Psi & Tau Beta Sigma Commissioned Work
When a classified document must be revealed to the public, it is redacted: Sensitive passages of the text are
blacked out, to preserve the secrets within. So revelation just leads to more questions, and what is exposed is only
that the truth remains hidden. Writ large, this is the essence of clandestine work - its task is both to keep and to
uncover secrets. This dual nature, and its inherent conflict, provides the basis for John Mackey’s (Redacted), a piece
that offers hints of covert action and intrigue while holding the full story just out of reach.
Pairs, especially pairs in tension, are important to the course of the work as a whole. Structurally, the piece is
not only bipartite in form, but each major section is also divided into halves. Sonically, the composer explores the
realms of the extreme, alternating between solitary quiet and jarring noise, ranging from the fastidiously slow to
the aggressively quick. The alternation of these elements creates a cognitive dissonance, an emotional context that
is simultaneously thrilling and pensive.
The piece opens with an elegiac soliloquy, with two primary motives stated unaccompanied by clarinet and flute,
each of which, shrouded in chameleonic disguises, metamorphoses to match its surroundings as the work progresses.
As these motives step out of the shadows, they rise in a lush and rapturous unfurling, then dissipate into seduction
with a distorted tango - made bizarre by the quirky alternation of 6/8 and 2/4 - and a flirtatious melody, presented
by alto saxophone and then trumpet.
The second half of the piece is similar in shape to the first, beginning with melodies quietly sneaking through
sparse textures of suspended harmonies. The original clarinet melody returns, now stated by flute and accompanied
by a tiptoeing ostinato of major sevenths in harp and vibraphone. The tempo spins forward again into a tumultuous
squall, and the rhythmic pulse of the tango reemerges - no longer the casual and debonair fling, but now wracked with
explosive articulations in tutti clusters. The earlier tune is sounded simultaneously by saxophones and trumpets,
and now, caught in the fray, it bears a hair-raising tension. A clarinet cadenza introduces the coda of the work; the
attempt to reassert the opening motive is cloaked by the exclamations of the ensemble and subdued by the groaning
brass, which swirl threateningly over a mechanistic pulse that hurtles to a cliffhanger ending.
