Butler University

Hey everyone! I've been getting a lot of questions about band lately, and I know that especially in Indiana, there are a lot of band people out there, so I thought I would start a thread to ask questions and just chat about it. I am in Basketball Band (pep band) here at Butler and I play the clarinet...

[quote user="coley19"] You said that you're in the band program at Butler.....and I was just wondering can you be in just a pepband and not in an acutal concert band setting? [/quote] Yes, you can definitely just be in pep band! That's what I do. We have a marching band for football...

Oooops, my post got cut off before I could finish it! I think I am the kind of person you are talking about! I am an English and Spanish major, but I love music and wanted to stay involved in college, so I played clarinet in Symphonic Band my freshmen year and in Basketball Band every year. I am even...

Ok, not the whole country. But we DID beat the University of South Alabama in the first round of the NCAA here in Birmingham, Alabama!

I am extremely thrilled to be writing to you from the lobby of the Wynfrey hotel in Birmingham, Alabama... yeah, that's right! I'm on location for the Men's Basketball NCAA Tournament!!! Butler plays S. Alabama tomorrow and I am here as a member of the Basketball Band to support them, and...

Ahh, the end of spring break! What a sad time for all college students... Actually, I don't mind heading back to class, because I'm so excited about being back at Butler. I spent half of my break in Indy, and the other half wishing I was still there! There's always so much going on at Butler...

Grades came out yesterday and it looks like I survived my semester of chaos with a 4.0! I am happy that all my late nights and hours at the library paid off, because it was definitely my toughest semester yet. Two really reading intensive classes on the same days of the week meant lots of time hitting...

It is hard for me to believe that all of you readers have normal lives that have NOT been centered around the outcome of the Butler vs. Ohio State game this weekend, because here on campus that is all anyone has talked about for about a week now. Finals? eh, we'll worry about those later. This weekend...

How is Thanksgiving break over already?!? Lucky for us, Butler students get a week off for break, but I was so busy that it felt like about two days! It was all fun stuff though (well, minus reading Jane Austen novel #4 for my English seminar...) I'd love to tell you all about my break, but warning...
