Yes they’re getting there… I still don’t trust administration because they still have a choke hold on the bands growth but Chipman is doing his best with what he has.. not to mention the Board of Governors has set the bar extra high academically so it’s harder to recruit. Next year we should be pushing over 30
Ok imma need the 100 to retire invictus, it's a whole new century now, we have heard yall paly that song, decade after decade, it's time to move on. They sound great with love and war so good job, I'm starting to notice that, the 100 bandsmen's are getting smaller and smaller every year it seems like 🤔
I don’t this Lindsey Sarjeant rehearses with the band that much… the instrument players do not know when to pick up and release. He probably is conducting this piece for the first or second time this year. Because with the rest of the band staff you can tell they all start at the same time and end the notes together. That’s in part by the fact that the students are well rehearsed with the conductor. Ralph and Chipman does this the best. You cannot miss it. But being a former Marching100 band member we always despised well to Chipman. Dr White on the other hand conducting was very stylistic and there was a few times where we didn’t rehearse with him much and this is what happened (people are guessing when to come back into the music piece like the two or so tuba players). Just a good for thought. Excellent sound though. It’s the beginning of the season so I’m sure this is just a minor little bump.
As a Hundred fan. I wish the Hundred would stop putting on the same showcase at a “battle of the bands” especially if we’re gonna rag other schools for putting on the same show over and over
