Message: [QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 2286441, member: 559"] This thread reminds me of my career in the SU Marching Band. I came from West Genesee and drum corps and was used to a more precision, military style. My first rehearsal with SU started with calisthenics then learning dance moves. Fred Gebhardt who was a legendary color guard instructor that I worked with at WG and the Syracuse Brigadiers was working with the SU guard that year. At the first break I went up to him and said "Mr. Gebhardt, I just don't think this is for me." He said "Frankly you lasted about 45 minutes longer than I thought you would!" Took my trumpet, headed home and spent the next four years sitting in my concrete seats in the student section in Archbold. I did play 3 years in the SUY Jazz Ensemble under Steve Marconi incluyding a couple of summer sessions after graduation with Danny Schayes on trombone. [/QUOTE]
