AWESOME!!! Can't Wait for 7th 2010!!!

Post Deleted, Disregard

my college band, the Syracuse University Marching Band (SUMB) applied but unfortuanately did not get chosen, we got beaten out by two groups from inner city NYC

and here at SU, our freshman initiation is whats called the Dome Stomp and its harmless, what happens is all the rookies have to stand in the grooves of the carrier dome and jump and stomp on the ground after being told a story about something that happened when the dome was first built, I remember me and all the other freshmen in my group were really scared at first thinking that they were gonna do something to us and thought the upperclassmen were gonna ambush us in some way but after it happened, we had nothing more to worry about

Being a college band member myself (Syracuse University MB, The Pride of the Orange) we were told at the beginning of the year that if our director had even any reason to believe that hazing or anything of the sort is going on, our director said he would immediately hand over the case to the Office of Judicial Affairs or the Syracuse Police Department (Not SU Department of Public Safety). I'm surprised a band with such traditions as Wisconsin did not have these strict guidelines. Also is that stuff about the Bluecoats really true, I've heard several stories about it

Yea that and the fact that the corps wants to move back to the Northeast

I am totally aware of that as I am trying out there myself, but I've also heard from a member of their staff that they are at the same time trying to move the corps back to New England in the next few years.

can you make a 7th Regiment one please, that would be sweet!

Not to mention, the Glassmen are also in Ohio and they are pretty respectable too, you might want to consider them as well

Hey, since your from the Syracuse area, I could be of some assistance, Boston Crusaders are holding auditions in Rochester, maybe you should try that as well, and also I am a freshman at SU and marched 7th Regiment last summer and if you like I can help you out if you would like to take a look at 7th despite it being a hike from where you are, PM me though if you want more info

at the Rome, NY show this year, 7th Regiment got announced as the Spartans despite the announcer making the opening announcement welcoming 7th to the field

I'd love to go but I'd hate to see the game seeing as our football team just lost to Akron yesterday and is pretty much the worst team in the NCAA and USC is like what # 3, it would be horrible

Actually, things have changed, the last time they went to a bowl game, I think everything was provided and payed for by SU. But now that our football team is where its at, which is pretty much at the bottom of the NCAA (they lost to Akron yesterday!!!) they have pretty much given up on the band

Cool, I play Bass 2 in the SU drumline, I cant wait to see Joe Pa and the Nittany Lions in the Dome even though their gonna kill my beloved Orange, we're all looking forward to basketball season here at SU

point being, it also depends on how much your university cares about you as well in order to spend a good amount of money on you
