The UMass football team is not the only group getting ready for the 2007 season. The UMass Marching Band is in camp and getting ready for their first performance of the season.
The UMass Blog spies report that the UMass Band will have 375 members this year with 20 more in the Color Guard and 20+ in the percussion pit.
I've been meaning to add the UMMB Parents site to my permanent links section in the side bar. It's there now. Check out all the information about the band's training camp.
The main UMass band site is here. When I'm feeling blue, I stop over to the UMass' Drumline site and crank up my speakers and play a couple of cadences.
UMass fans are excited about the 2007 Football season, but year in, year out, the UMass Band is the best band in the nation.
