OT: Marching Band

[Eli]

I hope one day we get on this level. As a former band geek (8 years of band in MS and HS), our marching band although improving slightly each year, is disappointing.

This, on the other hand, is absolutely incredible IMO.

Their band budget is bigger then our football budget, probably...

I hear what your saying but to get to the level of OSU you would need a few things.

1. Bring back the music major. They got rid of it when I was a student. Most of the large pep band/marching bands you see are filled with music majors.

 

2. Hire a full time director. Kevin does a fabulous job, guy deserves to be full time.

 

3. Bring in a music service fraternity that will allow music majors and non music majors to network and former lifetime bonds.

 

4. Donate money to the marching band, only way to grow is with seed money. Instruments and uniforms ain't cheep.

All good points. I was blown away by the show, it's very neat. Kevin has indeed done a great job considering what we had the first year and where we're at now. Marching band is improving but our band at bball games is great, they belt their jams out hard.
