Message: [QUOTE="ECE '76, post: 5494401, member: 8656"] We practiced for 2 hours every weekday when I was in the SUMB (1970s). And game day was pretty long. We learned half time shows that required playing while high-step marching and making active formations. Every game was a new show and music to learn. Plus we took two trips to away games per season (went to Penn State, Pitt, WV, BC, Navy). I never heard of such a thing that woodwinds wouldn't play in the rain. All the games were outdoors. SU supplied some of the instruments, but not all. We had some epic touch football games before band practice in the field between Lawrinson and Sadler. Someone on a high floor of Lawrinson would put big speakers aimed out their window and play Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East as loud as they could during our practices. Ahh, the 1970s. [/QUOTE]
