The Frost Band of the Hour transformed from students to stars last Monday, when Universal Pictures came to UM's campus to record the bad members playing the main title for the upcoming movie "Despicable Me 2."
The song will play during the opening title sequence. The feature film is a sequel to the 2010 animated comedy "Despicable Me."
Pharrell Williams, the soundtrack's producer, was interested in using a marching band for his project. He presented the Band of the Hour with this opportunity by contacting Shelton Berg, dean of the Frost School of Music.
Pharrell has worked with the Henry Mancini Institute a part of the Forest School of Music, in the past. Thomas Keck, the director of the Band of the Hour, suspects this is the reason Pharrell chose the UM band.
