@@Foxyboi1 it’s prob just because they are compressed in that corner like this. I just feel like they were like 400 plus when I was growing up but I could be wrong haha
Historical perspective. Dean Killion's Band on the field: 1980 4 directors 2 Drum Majors 2 Feature Twirlers 8 Twirlers 16 Zits 20 Flags 240 Winds, Very heavy Brass, 32 Tuba, 64 Trombone, 8 piccolo, 70 Trumpet, a smattering of Clarinet, Sax, Barfytones and Horns. 40 or 50 Alternates just waiting to snatch a your foot and a half! We traveled in eight 47 seat Greyhounds with 16 sponsors, and a band wagon with two drivers. Keith Bearden added more Zits, flags and we took nine Greyhounds, a bandwagon and a 18 wheeler. I remember 326 on the field being announced. After I left, I think KB added as many as 40 more on the field. The current band has a much more symphonic sound due to more woodwinds and the fact that professional grade trombones were provided by the school, instead of intermediate and even beginner horns that we used back in my years. The last Killionite left marching, Class of '88
theres Dr. Alan.. scared to see him next year everyday instead of before competitions
Did the band get smaller? Still sound great just use to them having huge numbers.
Not to my knowledge. It's still over 300 people.
