it just depends on the section on how they do the travel bands...some take turns letting others go...other sections do it on seniority

you have to be good musically and marching wise...so if you come from a bad high school you may be a little under prepared

Do nothing to change the tradition of TGBFT. Our uniforms are classic and bely the military tie-in to the University's founding. You honestly think Texas's band looks good? You honestly think OSU's band looks better than ours? Cowboy Hats and Berets? That you could suggest tiger stripes told me everything I need to know.
