In response to the statement made from nsutrumpeter. In order to become a show band u have to have proven yourself worthy and once u have reach levels of accomplishment such as St .Aug has then there is no need to prove yourself . So this goes out to all the haters St.Aug has it's name stamped into the City of New Olreans forever so you can get with it are get over ..

[winterwolfwendy]

The St. Aug name is stamped right on the hearts of all Southeast Louisian~ites, I believe!

Just like WHO DAT is!

@fluteplayr27live In New Orleans they are the best.... best show band!!! but the show bands in the city blast like tooooooooooo much!!! it is crazy, but sorry i totally agree. The only two drum crop style bands in New Orleans are Holy Cross High School, and Arch bishop Rummel, but Holy Cross is bringing the Militant grade marching back in the City.

Are you kidding? How is this the best band!? They look to the side while they are marching and the trumpet players raised thier instruments at different angles. And when the band stopped, the trombones weren't aligned. I know a good band when i see one and this isnt one.

I know the young people today know nothing about the size of the band when our legendary Mr. Hamp first started this band. So, I'll say this, the size doesn't matter. Aug was blowing away bands when they had less than 60 members and I know this because my brother was in the band then...1960's and early 70's Hamp always could do more with less, while the public schools did poor with more.

Big doesn't equate to great musicianship..it only means you have a big band.
