Yes Louisa does usually 2 buses for the band. We also bring 2 sometimes 3 bus loads for The Pep Buses. The Pep Bus there is a fee the cost of the ticket. Not just students also community members are allowed to ride.1 bus load of Cheerleaders and 2 buses for the football team. We do travel very well!

Do most schools require the band to march as well? Amherst band classroom participant used to have to march, now they don’t. The band is half the size because of it. I think that is ridiculous. Last year Amherst took their band to a couple of games but not unless the boosters ask.

Not sure how it is now but technically at Salem it was that way. If you took Symphonic Band you had to march, period. There were some kids who took Jazz that didn't march (all played football, Dennis Haley was one).

In the Bay Rivers no team takes its band to away games. Hell, at tonites New Kent’s home game against Lafayette, the New Kent band was MIA as well as the student section.

That's bizarre to me, although I realize we're spoiled here in Salem, but for NO away games? I guess money is just super tight in BRD or something?

Clarke has never traveled well, so band only does home games. Sometimes if I'm at an away game I'll sit on the home team side at halftime so I can see and hear the band better.

I know the students in the band likes to go to the away games but it is not their decision unfortunately
