Twitter is my confirmation!!! The campus: Via Twiiter keeps sayin "The BGMM is Stacked this year", or "The Machine Looks Thick this year",NSU Bandmember:"From what im hearing coming outta A&T Camp the NSU game will be interesting". Those are just a few tweets I have read!!

ask somebody at central how big our band is. they must have spies counting our band members, because for the last couple of years they've been boasting that they have the largest hbcu band in the state of north carolina. normally, that distinction belongs to us...

Those are just a few tweets I have read!! This still does not confirm anything, being that a NSU bandmember is hearing like everyone else, but not seeing.

Hello BDV Fam,
The band is larger. The band sounds good. The students are doing VERY well for only having been in full camp less than a week. I think Alumni will be pleased with the 2011 edition. It is a fusion of the new Machine (cleaner, more technical, etc) with what is loved about the old Machine. (intensity, as well as some very familiar tunes....) There will never be a year where everyone is happy, lol. (there will always be disgruntled alums about something unfortunately) However, I believe this ensemble will get close. Also the girls (GD) are having an excellent camp (one of my best groups yet) and the drum line is doing well also. Some entertaining and musical shows planned as well.
See you all soon.

Found this clip... It seems to be a ameatur compilation but it contains a few practice clips some pretty decent shots of campus.
The Band does the best of all entities on campus of branding thier product. Cant wait for the first 5th of the season

After last Thursday's scrimmage the band marched in the stands at the stadium and played a few songs. For this early in camp they really sound tight, damn good sound. They had well over 200 members out there, and I was told by one of the asst. band directors that over 30 of the members were not even out there due to some paperwork stuff that they had to get straight first, but that they will all be playing very soon. He stated that they will possibly end up with between 240 and 260 members. They had 15 tubas out there and I was told that they had at least 6 more that were not out there at the time. They are ready to bring it this year. "It's going to be mean, It's going to be clean", all of you know what they call it!!!! ;D ;D ;D
