Good Job Gold Star Band!!

[BigBison]

I gotta say the band was 120% better than last year!!! The new Unis look great, blinking lights were awesome. 160 members strong. And the best looking drums that I've ever seen. Are the tubas new? if not they looked new to me. Good job GSB I could tell that your still practicing and working out the kinks(flag girls) but once everone gets their practice in it can only get better. Oh are they piping the music over the PA system? I think I'll be up loading some new band videos to youtube soon.

The tubas were new a few (4ish?) years ago...courtesy of the Dr. Chapman's funds, I think. I believe they were also piping the music. At least that's what people said would be done. I was listening online and thought it was great to hear the band in the background!

Blinking lights? Where are the blinking lights?

Let us know if you upload band videos, I can't wait to see!

I read on Kolpacks Blog that they were piping in music over the PA must of been just right because it was louder but to ramming it into your head loud.

Thanks. This was a marked improvement for the first game from years past. There are definitely some kinks to be worked out (like me not knowing drill for the closer because I was gone the day the band learned it ), but it still rocked.

Yep. The band was mic'ed tonight. I was marching/playing around the Dome with a few other drum line members and I over heard it over near the north endzone. "Wow! You can actually hear the band!"

As for the blinking lights they were worn on the uniforms and used for pre game. Personally I think they were tacky and had no other purpose other than blinking... but who am I to say?

I about lost it when the band played "I kissed a girl".....I never thought I'd hear that at the game.

LOVED IT! Being miked was great. Love the new drums. Would still like a little more volume.

IMO the band seemed to have grown since last year. Are there more members this year than last year?

Without having an official count I would agree.

I saw the drum line practicing outside last Friday, and I thought... this is going to be good! They didn't disappoint! Hats off to the BAND!!!
(Remember, if you chose to donate a little $ to Ndsu, you can also designate it for the band! You'll get a letter of "thanks" in the mail!)
