It's that time of year again!

Band Season officially begins on Columbus, OH tonight! The first Ohio State summer sessions are tonight at 7pm. Practices are held every Tuesday and Thursday through the end of August.

I can't wait to see some of the Big Ten bands in the Horseshoe this year, I hear quite a few are making the trek to Columbus! Hope to see some of you in the fall.

It's not the "humor and sarcasm from the cheer groups," it's the constant ridicule from the fans around us. We can take it, but why would we look forward to subjecting ourselves to it?

Our fans clap for you guys at Skull Session, and in fact they're probably the nicest fans you'll see all day.

This is true. Anywhere you go, the fans of the bands are the best kind. But still, that doesn't make it enjoyable. We just sit there and get mocked and insulted for an hour. For any other band, yeah, this would be a cool tradition, and it is a gracious gesture to have it extended even to the MMB, but like I said it's nothing we get excited about.

You have summer practice? That sucks! What about people who live out of state? Anyways, enjoy the season. I miss marching. *sigh* And Purdue probably won't even be on TV out here in Colorado this year.

It's just something that the band members started a while ago to get back into shape for the season. We don't have a band camp, so everyone who makes the band is expected to know the marching style and be able to perform three days later. Summer Sessions are not mandatory, but they help get people back into shape and teach the new students in preparation for try-outs.

People who live out of state come when they can...one of the members of my rookie class drove from Michigan every Tuesday/Thursday during the summer! I'm pretty sure he made the drive for 2 or 3 years before finally making it in 2003. some people are just crazy...but it paid off in the end!

Ohio State's not, but I think that might be our Sports Club trip (band members taking a bus together and going to the game). It's hard to tell when the trip will be though with this new busy season we don't really have a free weekend.
