Thanks for the thoughts.
We are adding Football at Roanoke College, and hope to be full schedule in 2025.
Along with that is a Marching Band and Competitive Cheer Squad. We hope to do all of it well.
We know it is all about hiring the right people!

And money.

Roanoke played host to the Warhawk Marching Band briefly in 2007 prior to the Stagg Bowl, and we were thankful to have that extra time off the bus before the game.  That's definitely a long bus ride, although the Famous Anthony's at the end of the line was worth it.  Hopefully that restaurant is still going strong!  Best of luck to you at Roanoke in getting the program off the ground!

I'm surprised Fannosaurous Rex hasn't responded on this thread yet. (While WLC's band numbers aren't large enough for a marching band yet, they do have a drum-line, which I heard during the Warriors' last FB home game vs. Concordia-Chicago.)

And where's AUPepBand?

AUPepBand is busier than ever! Thanks for the shout-out. Hadn't been on here much as the Empire8 thread is dead.

Happy to report that a 15-member Pep Band played from the stands in the first half of Alfred University's Homecoming game against Pep's alma mater, Morrisville State....then at halftime, pulled off a first-ever halftime show on the field, featuring "The Seventies in Seven."

After a lackluster 2022 as Covid cut into any band transition and negated recruiting, Pep has a good nucleus of first-year players and a senior music major who's been a joy to work with. We're not officially a "marching band" but we plan to do a couple more halftime shows this season.

On Saxon Warriors!

On Saxon Warriors! On to Victory!
...Fight, fight for Alfred, A-L-F, R-E-D!
