UGA football fans will no longer hear “Tara’s Theme” played by the Redcoat Band.

One of the staples of a UGA football experience is hearing the award-winning Redcoat Band playing during the game, as well as pregame and postgame.

One of their signature pieces was “Tara’s Theme” from the motion picture Gone With the Wind. However, that composition has now been removed from the Redcoat Band repertoire.

In an announcement by the Redcoat Band’s acting director, Brett Bawcum, it was stated that “Tara’s Theme” would no longer be performed by the band, and instead would be replaced by one of their signature pieces, “Georgia on my Mind”.
