Today's audience don't appreciate University's Symphonic Bands. They are more focusing on who can blow the loudest. But, the marching bands should be an extension of your Symphonic Bands/Wind Ensemble. I love programs that focus more on developing a comprehensive music programs and not just focusing on the marching band.
Right that's why i tell everyone who majors in music that you major in music ed not marching band i love concert literature and other comprehensive and contemporary literature
