St. Aug was the only band that received a standing ovation as they came of the field. Not bad for a bunch of 6th and 7th up to 12th graders. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr. Hamp never had to deal with such young bands. In other words stop comparing this mostly middle school bands to St. Aug High School bands of the past.
After watching this again, ya'll really did a good job. Made me proud all over again. It's a Purple Thing, sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves. I love it. What makes it so amazing is that there is really no competition for The Marching 100, so we compare to ourselves. That's what makes this band, this school remarkably different and great.
Yeah ok if you say so, bring it down to new orleans so we can see those big bands that can only play when they're only standing still and if you there are some more bands in nee Orleans that will light you up
A JOHN MCDONOGH TROJAN WAS DIRECTOR OF THIS BAND!But Mr.Hampton wanted Mr.Herbert to take the Aug.I love Ed but the band hasn't been this good since Herbert left.Sorry.
Thanks I guess. Lol! But who do you think was doing all of the music and field shows when Herb was there? Herb never touched the band. And I mean EVER.
A," another is a row of diamonds. Hampton put in long hours creating these formations, but he doesn't have one clear favorite. "If you're good at this, your best formation is probably the next one you're trying to do," he says. Hampton recalls the genesis of his program, more than a half-century ago. For the first decade, he spent nearly every summer at marching band workshops in the Midwest, where he learned the art of intricate field routines known as precision drilling. The idea originated with the Romans, he says, who carefully mapped the movements of thousands of soldiers, where they started and where they stopped. He absorbed all these ideas and then brought them south, to his own Purple Knights. To him, marching and precision drill are simply forms of dance, "ways of marrying the rhythm to the music." Today, many bands practice precision drilling. But Hampton did it first and the best, says Isaac Greggs, who for 34 years has been the acclaimed band director at Southern University. "I am a precision genius," Greggs says, "but I got into it because I saw St. Augustin

Why because they don't sideways when they try to March like a lot of so call marching bands that should be called walking bands with a million dollars worth of equipment and 6 dollars worth of sound

ST AUG HAS THEIR OWN STYLE..THE MARCHING 100 WERE DOING PRECISION DRILLING BEFORE DR GREGGS ARRIVED AT SOUTHERN IN 1969
