"We managed to get our entire first show and pregame on the field during band camp"

Proof positive that MsS is not a good band director. UAB does a single show the ENTIRE YEAR--schools like Auburn and UGA do 3 or 4 shows.

I'm gonna hafta disagree with you on that one AV. Firstly, it's really not fair to compare UAB's band to Auburn's, or any other more established marching band in the state. The band and students here are a lot more experienced. There's a larger proportion of upperclassmen, so most of the teaching of fundamentals and other particulars are through them. Second, Ms. S. has only been at UAB for 4 years. Before that, the band program was pretty unstable, with respect to directors. The band has almost doubled in size since your first year, and it's only gonna continue to get better. Though we've had our differences, I still respect Ms. S. as a great person and an illustrious instructor...Auburn's just been around for longer.

Well let's not forget she won multiple BOA awards at Lassiter High School in Georgia.

Read: Her old high school band could probably outmarch UAB's band, and I just don't understand why, considering it's the same director.
