Any band over 150 or so members, IMO, makes it difficult to do anything interesting.

They can line up to spell EAGLES (the mascot).

And honestly they do sound really good.

Interesting how I just stumble upon this thread right after getting back from playing at the first ISU home football game this season. I play Trombone, 1st part. We definitely played a good show, way better than at the first game last year, in my opinion.

Awesome! Good luck this season.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. We put a lot of hard work in the past couple of weeks (especially at band camp) so if we keep it up it's going to be a really good year. Hoping we go to a bowl game as well since we didn't last year.

We're in full uniform for the first time this year on friday. Wish us luck guys! Our show is almost finished, by the way

Just curious. What is the "theme" of the show you're playing? This week we're playing songs from "boy bands" which sounds...incredibly lame, but it's actually enjoyable to play because the music is scored so we play it in a different style. Fortunately, later on this year we're doing a show playing classical music to offset some of the more mainstream stuff that I don't care for as much.
