But while MDB members march outside, Auburn University is constructing a $6 million practice facility for their marching band that will include a $500,000 courtyard, $1 million pavilion, $1 million practice field, separate concert halls for both the concert and marching bands, a percussion studio and a pedestrian bridge.

According to an Auburn University news release, Auburn’s athletic department contributed $1.5 million to the new building and the band is raising the remainder of the funds. The University of Alabama director of bands, Kenneth Ozzello, said the UA athletic department has no specific plans for any such facility.

We actually sold the milk rather than the cow itself.

Teach a man to fish & whatnot.

I guess if your football team is as bad is it is, you might as well give your fans something to enjoy at a game.

Funny you say that. I went to the Auburn game this year. The AU guy behind me was hilarious the way he was cheering for the band! I still don't know if he was serious or not. But I got a tremendous kick out of it.


ETA: He was cheering on the redcoats too. And when our Baton Twirlers lit their batons on fire, I thought he might lose it! "OH LOOK. FIRE!" "THIS IS AWESOME!" "YAY"
