The Washington Football Team Marching Band is the marching band for the Washington Football Team of the National Football League (NFL).[1][2] Founded in 1937, they are the oldest marching band of the National Football League.[1] When the team was known as the Redskins—the 1938 season until 2019—they were noted for performing the fight song "Hail to the Redskins" after each touchdown scored by them at home games.[3]
