From the resources available, it is unknown when piccolos were first a part of the marching band, although it appears that they have been around since near the beginning of the band's formation. This page will be updated as more research is done on this subject, so check back occasionally.

Rocca, Jr. - Rocca was a piccolo player in the 1930's "Making the Music" (from the Cal Band History Book) - includes a section that briefly discusses the instrumentation of the band
