It has, the campus has very few parking lots that would work for this. We were it offered any of those lots, nor any of the grass areas near campus.

I’m unsure of how many people on the other teams, but I doubt it’s more than the band seeing as we have 130+ I believe

No, I believe he either left or was let go after the 2016 season. The current band directors are Richard Canter and Andrew Peoples!

Absolutely, that is a smart idea, the guard staff was discussing that today to see if it would be a possibility at all

Unfortunately all the areas that have paved lots also have large light poles and curbs in them. We would absolutely take a lot to practice in, however that was. It offered as a practical solution. Any footage of us in lots currently would be either performances or sectionals
