As someone who marched competitively for 7 years, holds a Bachelor's in Music from Bama, and interacted with all of the directors and members on a daily basis, I can tell you that what we have is good enough for the quality of work on the field.

Best I could find. It also has a full size lighted football field behind it so they can practice at night.

I could take and interpret what you said several different ways.

Well as a casual observer who has a brother who played in a band and whose nephews plan on playing in a band...I think all the young men and women of our various universities deserve the best chance for success.
What they do ain't easy. It deserves respect and support from the fans. And to put my money where my mouth is, I just pledged support to the Tiger Band Hall Fund

HMC is super-big (123,000 sq feet) and yes, the Band Room was built to accommodate all 340 members of the Pride at the same time.

Is that where Alabama's Symphony Orchestra performs?
Yes.
No
The ASO performs at Jemison Hall at UAB the majority of the time:
If you ever get the opportunity to go see the ASO play at Jemison, go. It's a fantastic hall and a great orchestra.

Not sure why MSU Riley center is not on the site. That's MSU's premier performing arts/concert hall. It was built in the 1800's and was restored recently. It's part of the Meridian campus. Nothing like it in the whole state.

The pro photography on those top pictures helps but yeah it's a wonderful building. It was a pet project of the Haslam family so a lot of care went into it. They donated $10 million toward the building because Natalie Haslam loved her time in the music program at UT. The building is named after her.
And really the only problem I have with it is that Dr. Julian's name should be on it somewhere, anywhere, even if you have to hyphenate and call it some variation of Haslam-Julian Music Center or even if it's the Natalie Haslam Music Center and Dr. W.J. Julian Band Room or whatnot. It would still get shortened to Haslam Music Center but the formal nod to Dr. Julian would be there. I know that sounds like a nitpick and it is but given all that Julian did for POTS and the entire music program at UT - the circle drill that we perform which has since become a fixture of college football/marching band performances throughout the South seen in variations at many schools on game day, running through the "T", the uniforms, even the band playing Rocky Top are all due to Dr. Julian - his name needs to be there somewhere. Hopefully someone at UT or our Governor realizes the oversight and remedies it.

I like Tennessee's.
We get about what we pay for. That's fine.
We have a project that is funded and should start this summer to convert the old 1930s gothic men's gymnasium into a small concert venue.
Pretty much all of the orchestral stuff has been done off campus at the Walton Arts Center since 1992. Its only two blocks off campus, though.
