Transcript | A Fifteen Minute Show Doesn't Tell the Whole Story Bobby Linder serves as drum major for the Cougar band. Opectators see the University's Cougar Band snap out on the field, work out the routine of a show, play the Alma Mater and march off. The appearance lasts up to fifteen minutes which doesn't seem like a very long time; but for that length of time, or even less, it takes quite a bit of work and time on the part of many individuals. The idea of the show must be thought up, formations worked out and music chosen for the performance. The music must be played until it is known well enough to be played while marching. That's no small task. The show must be walked through, marched through and finally done with music until it is letter-perfect. At the beginning of the season the band works hard to get the musicians marching, thinking and playing together; for each new season brings a partially new band with a tradition to uphold, that of putting on a colorful and unique show and synchronizing precision movements with good band music. That's quite a tradition. 132 |
