Patrick_D Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) During my undergrad years I marched with the Pride of West Virginia (WVU)... Aside from the fact that I had to because I was a music major, it got me into games free. :) It didn't exactly help me with my marching techniqe as it pertains to Drum Corps, but it was fun. Where did you march, if anywhere? Any other WVU grads out there? Patrick Edited June 7, 2007 by Patrick_D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoSaints Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) I attended Douglass College / Rutgers University in New Brunswick NJ as a commuter student for my undergrad degree and had considered going out for their band (I marched guard - flag and sabre - my whole corps career). There was no way I could do RU band, winter guard, corps, school, and work at the same time, so I chose not to try out for RU. Aged out of the same corps I started with as a 12 year old when it was formed -- the Saints of Woodbridge-Edison NJ. No regrets about not marching for RU. Considered marching during my grad program, but I received my Masters as an online student ... jo Edited June 7, 2007 by JoSaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd83 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I marched with the Mighty Privateer Band of the University of New Orleans (Geaux Bucs!!!) and was in the basketball pep band. Too bad we didn't have a football team, but we did march a Saints halftime show. I had just aged out of the Phantom Regiment when I started marching with them.

Roark1 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The University of Wisconsin Marching Band Old School Big Ten High Step Marching Band, yah baby! About as far away from drum corps as you can get. It was a GAS! (Eat A Rock!) B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphscott Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) I marched with University of Texas - Arlington. The only band (that we know of) that marches without a football team. We existed purely for the music, the opportunity for music majors to learn in a laboratory environment, and to recruit for the university. The school has funded the organization for nearly 20 years now with no athletic team to support or fund it.

84BDsop Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The San Diego State Marching Spaztecs -- er -- AZtecs! If you ever saw us in the early 80s, you;d understand how accurate the first phrase was...but with a 300 piece band, we rocked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
