Leadership arrives!

Today the drum major's and the Band President, Amy Fox(insox) arrived! All three drum major's David, Brandon, and Shelby have been putting together packets all morning! They're headed to a meeting with the head of football operations now. We're on the fast track to marching band season! And tomorrow means lining the field in preparation for our wonderful 200 member band to march across very soon!
I hope you are all enjoying  your last couple days of summer and preparing for Saturday's check-in! Make your plans to arrive here between Noon and 3:00pm... there will be a special computer assessment for the band freshmen at 3:00pm on the dot so if that's something you need to be at be sure to be in the check-in line by 1:30pm at the latest. Also, if you are planning on being a music major/minor the Music Theory Placement test has been changed to 4:45pm so you will have time to take both the computer assessment and be present for the theory placement test.
We've got a new band room, new instrument lockers, new tuba's... lots of "new" around here! We can't wait to meet all of the "new" faces this year too! The campus has undergone a few upgrades this summer as well! Including the new visitor's center which should be finished by Homecoming weekend, October 14-15! There have been new signs put up all around campus, two of which have pictures of the marching band performing!

Things are very exciting around here, all we're missing now is YOU!
See you soon!
