Cherish every moment. It was major fun. Ask some of the upper classmen how bad last year sucked. Thats the reason so many of you new people made it this year. Year before last 35 piccolos got cut. This year? like 4?



yeah..only 8 saxes were cut this year compared to last years 25..camp numbers were down this year i guess?

We were just informed today at practice that it was changing this year. We will be peeling off to the PMAC AFTER we march down the hill. I dont like the idea but its what the TAF want.


Wow, so no run into the stadium while playing Pregame?

well on a normal game, the TB would be on the hill about 5:30 so since its an early kickoff I am guessing they will be there about 4:30...what you think???

yeah we wont be running into the stadium this year..i think they are keeping it all season too.

after we play hold that tiger, we go into 4s and go into the pmac and play and then enter TS.

I was in TB 92-96. I'm bringing my 3 oldest children, 10, 9, and 6. It's their first game ever; it's my first game since my wife graduated in 97. Where should we be to give the kids the best chance to experience the band running down the hill, and when should we get there? Thanks for the help.

Were going down at 430 so I'd get there pretty early around 3 or so for a good spot maybe?


Idk where to go for the best spot except along the front
