How many people are yall expecting to march this coming year?
There is no set number. We definitely will be bigger than this past year but I'm all for kicking out dead weight. We handled business with a small band this past year so a "big Karr band" is nice, but a "small quality Karr band" is GREAT. It all falls on Herrero though.
We ended the year with a consistent 70 person strong group. We only lost about 5 seniors. so we are looking at starting the year with a 70+ sized band. Karr is still taking applications btw.
That's good man. Looking forward to seeing you guys this year. Are yall bringing back the girl drummajor this year?
Nah she graduated, and more than likely, going up to JSU in the fall on trumpet. We picked 4 dudes for this year. 2 returning drum majors and 2 new ones.
