The University should support the band
Published on September 24, 2008
The Princeton University Band supports the athletic teams through thick and thin, and should get the support of the University and the community. The band performs a vital function of entertainment and provides an outlet of both music and fun for its members.
A friend of mine who was a year ahead of me at Yale told me to join the band when I got to college. I didn’t play an instrument, but the band took me in anyway, and it happened that I had a sense of rhythm and was able to play the bass drum somewhat respectably. Some of my best experiences and best friends were from the Princeton University Band, and to this day I get a tremendous amount of joy from seeing or hearing the band on campus.
Go band!
