Northern Thunder Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 I probably should have omitted "former", I guess he's still Blue Stars director! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Stanford University Marching Band ? Is this the progressive, avard garde university MB that is anything but traditional, conservative in its style... but which non MB regular folks seem to like and get a kick out of their irreverence? This Fancy Pants Liberal University's MB has a history of drugs, alcohol, and sexual harrassment issues however. Here's hoping that Gavin can clean up this University's deplorable MB culture there.

The one in Palo Alto, Calif ? or is this a different MB ? This is the reformation of a more formally recognized unit coming from the ashes of the previously suspended "progressive, avard garde university MB." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tesmusic Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I wonder how much, if any, of the whole scatter-band concept they'll retain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibexpercussion Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Also have to wonder what the numbers will look like in the short-term. Will they lose members if he takes it in amore traditional marching band direction? Will they gain in numbers because students will want to do it since it won't be the dumpster fire that it has been recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
