Wow. This damn near brought tears to my eyes. I loved watching the band at Penn State as an undergrad but never realized how much work they put into it. LOVE me some Blue Band!
I have to admit...I never had to go through this. I was the lowest ranked of the sousaphones my freshman year (I had only been playing a musical instrument for two years prior to coming to Penn State)...but IIRC, we all pretty much knew early on they were taking all of us. So i was never in danger of getting cut. But I feel for those who did have to go through this.
Can anyone answer this question? Do you have to try out for the band each year or if you make it the first year you in the band though out your college years?
Didn't OSU's band director get fired over hazing and sexual harassment? How are the mighty fallen. Let's face it, college bands reign supreme over their native heath, but, once they cross the state line into the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, they no longer hold that status. My PSU degree is fifty years old, now, and it STILL is worth more than the subsequent degrees I earned at other universities.
or just Go Bucks, I don't mind Penn State, not as much as Wisconson or you know who but still, you will never convince me the blue bad is better. I respect the Blue Band, but I'm a Buckeye.

You have to audition each year, but it's rare that you wouldn't make it as a returning member.
LOVE THE GIRL IN THE PR SHIRT

Ima keep it real with you chief, the bluecoats are the best band in the land.
Bluecoats?

I get nervous just watching this video! Auditions coming up in about a month!
MusicIsLife I know I’m 7 years late but did you make it and if not did you make it later?
This never gets old :*) BBBones ftw!
I often wondered what happened with those that didn't make it this year. Did they make it any of the following years?
Amy McKelvey No she didn’t 😐
@@niemasmith2103I know I’m 5 years late but if you’re talking about Casey did she try out again or what happened?
