= History = The Fresno State Bulldog Marching Band (originally the Fresno State College band) was founded in 1926 by Mr. Arthur C. Forsblad. From its humble beginnings with only 36 members, the marching band continued to grow throughout the 1900s until it was cut completely in 1992 due to budget cuts, just 10 years after hitting 200 members for the first time.

The band was revived in 1993 and christened the Bulldog Marching Band by new Associate Director of Bands, Dr. Gary P Gilroy. Since then, the FSBMB has performed at multiple NCAA  Bowl games, competitions, and National Football League games. The Fresno State Bulldog Marching Band is currently under the direction of Mr. Steve McKeithen for the 4th season and performs at all Fresno State home games, the annual Fresno Veterans Day Parade, the Sierra Cup Classic, and numerous other events throughout the year.
