Is it my imagination or did our band suddenly become larger?

I think they did. They started the year with maybe 140-150 on media day but I swear they are way over two hundred by season's end and from looking at the videos from last week.

Decks and Aggie One yea the band grew the last few games of the season...we added about 30 more people. I think the Honda show had a block of 192 but there were alot of holes in the show. We went down with about 213 including Golden Delight.

Let's see. We grew by 30 kids and by the same token, NCCU shrank by 50 or more people since football season from what folks tell me who are NCCU grads.
It makes me wonder about the "biggest band in N.C." moniker they boasted so much about all year long. I swear they didn't have as many members as we did even when we battled them in Charlotte.
I mean FAMU has 400 bodies and a zillion drum majors but sounded like hot crap on the You Tube vids I saw of the Honda. We literally blew them out and away both musically and performance wise.
So much for the theory of more size means better quality.

Battle spoke to the band while they were eating after the band battle and really praised them to the highest. Battle spoke about the money that he spent on the band at the beginning of the school year and how it has paid off. He pledge to spend just as much or more next school year. He is really in love with this band. The band members really seem to appreciate the things Battle talked to them about.
