Today brings the official end to the marching season. After performing the Christmas Parade, students attended their final rehearsal today to fill out paperwork consisting of student leader and staff evaluations, recommendations for leaders next year, and petitions for leaders. Uniform check-in will happen on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. On a personal note, being in the "All-American" Marching Band was more than I could have asked for. It was surprisingly 20 times better than high school band - something I never thought would happen when I joined what is, in actuality, a pep band. For those of you who are not currently part of the music program at your own college or community, I highly recommend giving it a shot. You never know what you might experience.
On a brighter note, there is one more performance left for specific sections of the band. "Tuba Christmas" will be held this Friday at 7:00pm in Stewart Center. Join the baritones and sousas in a unique display of holiday cheer. Immediately following is the Purdue Jazz Band Concert at 8:00pm. If you happen to be in town, check out the excellent musicians of Purdue University.
