I am surprised that there are no music majors in the marching band. Once upon a time, all instrumental music majors were required to be in marching band until graduation (usually four years). I wasn't aware that Wake had eliminated the instrumental music major. Is it still there?
I can see that the music majors at Wake are not popular. If your career goal is teaching, most K-12 jobs require pedagogy classes and student teaching experience that Wake didn't offer. So that meant another year at state teacher's U. So why go to Wake for four years, then post grad? Much easier quicker and simpler to just go to state teacher U. Performing as your goal? Better to go to a music conservatory that regularly produces national and world class instrumental players.
Lack of music majors also decreases versatility in the band. If I recall, music majors needed to be able to play multiple instruments, even if they concentrated on one.
Those players, most of the Wake band, who planned vocations in something besides music, have to fit marching band schedule in and around other Wake academics, like science labs, that tend to meet in the afternoons. The choice usually goes against marching band.
