Description
Don Gillis, leader of the Texas Christian University band, described Amon G. Carter as the band's "greatest benefactor" as he presented Carter with a scroll naming him "honorary band leader for life." The Horned Frog band stood in front of Carter's box between the halves at the TCU-SMU football game as Gillis presented the scroll. As Gillis finished the presentation, the band played publicly for the first time "The Amon Carter March," written by Gillis.
