yea they are good i was their fot that i am one of the ones in the purple shirts they don't have us when we preformed we playd any way you want it before that song it was awsome in going back next year
No tips required. You're gonna have a great time. This band is a blast, and the saxophon section has one heck of a time in it. I played saxophone for 2 years in the SON, and am now one of the drum majors.
i really enjoyed watching your show, im from the Atlanta High school band, placed 5th in state, and i was amazed when i saw the show that Northwestern State put on.
I understand your frustration with the stands tunes; however, until NSU games attract tens of thousands of fans, crowd interaction will not get better. There's nothing you can do to better crowd interaction until the apathy subsides and people actually show up to games.
I enjoy the NSU halftime shows. I'll repeat... I enjoy the NSU halftime shows. The sound is good and the shows are interesting. It's the music that is played during the game that leaves a lot to be desired. It is ultimately boring. There is no interaction between the fans/students. Take some lessons from LSU Tiger band on the cheer/stands music.
On the flip side...LSU could take some lessons from NSU as far as halftime shows go. Hold 32...move 32...hold 64...move 32 all the while playing some stock arr. by arrangerspublishers.
I do agree that NSU lacks in the stands and has for the past 5-6 years. Of course it could be that during that same time frame the football team has sucked, no one goes to the games and the band doesn't have anything to get excited/cheer about. Hopefully things will change once the new coach gets things going.
I think Mr. Richardson should turn this music in to Arrangers Publishing Company. He'd make a killing especially for this show: I'd buy it because it sounds freakin AWESOME!
Absolutely amazing...the sound is so clear on those runs in the first sections now. I can't say enough about how the SON still continues to make me proud. Great job guys!!!!
all right lets go demon's!!!!!!! XD best marching band in the world!!

this has got to be the best college half-time show i've ever seen and it beats LSU's half-time shows by far imo...LSU could learn from the SoN
