LoyalZIP Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 I watched one of the videos of the preseason show that they had a couple of weeks ago and it definitely looked bigger than the past couple of years. I can't wait to hear them on Saturday! Quote
Dave in Green Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 From 100 members in 1999 to 170 last season was a growth of 70 over 15 years. It's a real growth spurt to be up by 90 to a total of 260 members this season. I'm really looking forward to hearing some of my favorite Chicago hits Saturday. Quote

ZachTheZip Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Louder does not translate to better. Quote
Dave in Green Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Louder does not translate to better, worse or the same automatically. Could be any one of the three. Has anyone actually heard the band practicing recently? Quote
interfx Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 They sound good, just more "full" sound. Can really hear the brass!!! Nice to see the band back at this size again! Quote

bandzip Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Hearing a lot of good things out of camp this year. New uniforms are long overdue, the old ones were pretty well shot when I marched six years ago. Should be a good season! Quote
