Wouldn’t hurt to spend an hour or so shooting free throws tomorrow.

He could have walked into the end zone on that play if he rolled right.

Does it bother anybody besides me that we NEVER roll Sam out, away from the pressure, or that he is frequently throwing so close to the line that it ends up being a flat-footed, all arm throw?

Shameless self-promotion post: I had a bucket list moment at the Braves-Phillies game last Sunday. I got to play NARCO, the walk-up music for William Contreras, LIVE in the stadium, on the 🎺. Coolest musical moment ever…Braves TV announcers called me Tommy Trumpet, and said “that’s going to...

Pretty good explanation, but SOTOGAB and all the other music ensembles are going to be dead in the water if the powers that be don’t see the light soon. A couple more seasons of non-sharing the needed info, and ALL of the music ensembles are going to be history.

Actually, they have been using Yamaha for the past 8 years. Dynasty left when the drumline coach who was a Dynasty-sponsored artist left.

When we had full access to incoming student info, the band was 120ish. Now that we have no info provided, the band is 75ish. You can't convince me that student info isn't important to the band's enrollment numbers.

Yes, believe it or not, on a thread about the BAND, we are taking about the BAND. There are other threads to discuss the game. If the size and quality of the band don't concern you, then run along to another thread. Some of us DO care.

To my understanding, it's not an admissions office decision :-(

Not to my knowledge

10K per WF student per year, with the requirement that they play in marching band AND pep band.

Haha, true, there is NOTHING to do in Buies Creek :-) I don't know what CU is doing to encourage students to participate, but apparently there is more incentive there than there is here. The administration's decision on protecting the students' information is really killing the recruiting...
