I overheard a few people ask about the band at the Clemson game and I have seen a few questions about the band on here. I thought I could give some info on the travel schedule. The FULL band is going to USA. A pep band is going to Georgia Southern.
I can also give a little insight as to how the band comes up with its travel schedule. Over the summer, the band staff comes up with a budget proposal for the entire fall season. This budget includes the following: plans for full band to go to every game, plans for pep band to go to every game, and plans for the full band to go to a few high school marching competitions (the band's form of recruiting). This budget is handed directly to university administration. Administration looks at all proposals and chooses which trips the band will go on.
I just wanted to give out those details so there is no confusion. University administration--not the band staff--makes the call on where the band goes.
This is my first year out of the band. I know everyone wants the band everywhere all the time, but I'm guessing it has something to do with budget cuts. Not really sure. But know they are ready to demolish South Alabama's band in October.

Maybe we could cut a few trips to China and take the band to an obvious important interconference rivalry?
