Information on the Marching Mocs
Randall Coleman was announced as the new director of bands at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in April 2021. He previously was associate director of the Million Dollar Band at the University of Alabama.
“It is a tremendous honor to be named as the director of bands at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga,” Coleman said. “I am a believer in the quote ‘It takes a village’ and, in the case of a university band program, that quote is especially true. In order to fulfill a vision, it takes a team effort from us all.”
In just a short amount of time, Coleman has reenergized the UTC Marching Mocs and grown its numbers to over 140 for the 2022-23 academic year. Check out this recent article in the Chattanooga Times Free Press for more on how he has grown UTC's band.
While at the University of Alabama, Coleman conducted the Million Dollar Band in performances at the Southeastern Conference Football Championships, the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, and the Mercedes-Benz Dome in Atlanta.
He received a Bachelor of Science in Music Education at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama, and a Master of Music Education from Georgia State University in Atlanta.
