Speaking of the band, have any of you heard or seen them so far this fall camp? If so, what is the size and the sound like?

I have not seen them personally, but "rumors" are out saying the freshman can play very well and that the numbers have increased in the Brass sections but I can only confirm that once I see them in person or hear that info directly out of the horse mouth.

lol, Exactly everyone has been extremely secretive this year so I hope that is a great sign! I read on twitter a NSU band member say that he is hearing alot of good coming out the A&T band camp and they may possibly be a force this year but *shrugs* idk what the hell is going on they could be marching a block of 75 or 250 so imma just wait and see lol!!!

I heard the same thing about the freshman being able to play. No one has any numbers? First the Fat Boyz break up....Now this!

Well, that will bring a lot of folk to the VUL game...if true. Also, the numbers will drop a bit during band camp.

I saw the drumline and it looked like about 50 or more. I guess since they have a bigger place to practice they can have a larger number of members in the band. I just want them to sound good no matter the number.

By any standards, that's a big band for A&T or any other school for that matter outside of FAMU or BCU. I'm with Bigboy, just don't let the sound and performance slip solely for numbers sake.
