Some footage I found on youtube from the fan fest. Looks like someone blew the dust off some old sheet music  They look huge  this year!!! Is it because of the bigger band room or the fact that we are going to be in NY next year? |

That's still a lot of people for A&T's band plus or minus the number. I just like the fact they do sound really good with more people. The musical quality doesn't seem to have dropped off any like some bands do when they grow substantially in size overnight after so many years of being between 120-150 members max.
You know what mean? A suddenly large band with lot more people on the field and in the stands but nothing really special or improved about their sound or their routines except they're just louder than usual.
