In 1956, a major turning point in the school's musical history took place, when respected military band leader and alumnus Charles "Chief" Pruitt organized the jazz band and the marching band after returning to the school to teach music.[4]

Pruitt also began the Newberry College Jazz Festival, held each spring since 1958.[5] The festival has hosted artists including Jeff Coffin, Delfayo Marsalis, Terell Stafford, Al Chez, and others.[6]
