Originally posted by DeltAlum At Ohio University, the Marching 110 is HUGE! By the way, the name is deceiving -- when the "modern" band (playing rock music and dancing) back in 1967 there were about 110 members. Now there are more like 140/150, but they're expected to give 110% at every practice and performance.
Ask any O.U. student or graduate!
Matt Lauer from the TODAY Show, and Ohio graduate, absolutely gushed (his word) over them on the air when they performed in the Macy's Parade two years ago.
The 110 is sooooo awesome I have a best friend now that is in the 110 drumline (look for the redheaded snare, lol). I still wish I went ahead and went to OU, I even had a Music scholarship...*sighs*
But anyway, ditto on the praising of the Marching Bands!! At my old high school we were only an A band, but we creamed AA bands like they were nothing!! Ahhh...the good old days....oh...and every band member remembers the Band Bus trips!! So many -wrong- things happened then...lol!!
