The University of Texas marching band and pep band will be required to play “The Eyes of Texas” school song when they return to performing, but the school will also create a new band that doesn't include it in its play list, the school has announced. The song has been mired in controversy since summer 2020 when a group of athletes and students called on the school to ditch the tune amid national racial injustice protests after the killing of George Floyd.
