thank you for posting this. I was a student of Dr. Ferguson's I am proud to say. I Just loved music and to perform and he encouraged that. He took the MDB, which was good and made it great and doesn't get the credit that he should. Plus, Kathryn Scott was his protege. The Wall of Sound. A Ferguson phenomenon. Thank you. Wish there was a video of him directing! His hair kept time to the music!
I loved it esp. the Roll Tide in both directions. RTR! LOL! No one band came up with certain moves its a conjoined program Duh!! If you knew anything about marching bands then you would know this. Ok so u say Tn's bands better I say you are smoking crack, as well as question u on how many championships do they have?!?!? I Believe as of right now our count is 13 and probably 14 this year. RTR!
Dr. James Ferguson, the director of the MDB that year, created what is called the 8-count circle drill move. It is where you are in a circle and in eight counts you can be in another circle drill design. So yes, they "can" do circle drill.
Wow, love the old film. Got anything from the 1973 or 1974 seasons? That's when I was in the band. It was back before videotape so I never saw the band when we marched.
The circle into the star was awesome.

I love 1970's marching techniques. Definitely better than the modern style, in my opinion.
