I know they were working on the circle drill but I'm not sure when they will do it. The circle drill is legit.

I think they started it at Bama this past week, and if tradition serves will stick with it throughout the remainder of the season (unless they do a holiday themed one for the last home game).

It is amazing that the SEC bands to win the Sudler Trophy got them all pretty much in consecutive years (from Wiki):
2000 University of Georgia
2001 Texas A&M University
2002 Louisiana State University
2003 University of Alabama
2004 Auburn University

And to quote the late, great, Lewis Grizzard when the UGA band went from being The Dixie Redcoat Marching Band to just The Redcoat Marching Band

I applaud the dropping of 'Dixie' from the name of the University of Georgia band, but let us not stop there.

How can we allow the word 'red,' which stands for communism? And the word 'redcoat' itself is an affront to the memory of all those Americans who fought against the redcoats of England in the Revolutionary War.

And 'band.' Pancho Villa had a 'band' of desperadoes and we had to send brave young soldiers to Mexico after him. So 'band' should go, too, and that just leaves 'The,' which is a dumb name for a large number of musicians, so I guess they're just out of a name altogether.
