The School of Music in the USF College of Design, Art & Performance is grateful for the constant support of Betty Castor, former president of the University of South Florida. During her presidency, Castor insisted that if we were going to have a football team, we must have a marching band and thus the Herd of Thunder was established, an ensemble her late husband, Sam Bell, fondly called “Betty’s Band.”

A longtime supporter of music education, Castor continues to support USF's music camps through her philanthropy. Each summer, hundreds of middle and high school students come to campus to develop their skills, build friendships, and deepen their love of music.
