HMB uses the traditional chair step style of marching, and before the University of Washington moved to the Big Ten Conference for the 2024 season, HMB was one of the few bands outside the Big Ten to do so.[1]Шаблон:Additional citation needed The HMB is a year-round ensemble that actively participates in supporting all Husky sports. Members participate during the fall to help support Husky Football at all home football games and selected away games.[1] The 2024 season is the Шаблон:Ordinal for the HMB.

The Husky Band, under the direction of Bill Bissell, is credited with the invention of the Wave in 1981.[2][3]

An event for local high school bands, Band Day at Husky football games began in 1950 under former director Walter C. Welke.[4]

The HMB is a traveling group, sending many pep bands to away games. The full band has performed at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia.[5] and traveled and performed in Japan, China, and Europe.
