Marching Band Traditions Archival Project

[kyle]

Marching Band is an amazing activity that improves our lives, many of us have participated directly or indirectly, and many of us have not. For those of us who haven't participated, it can be difficult to understand exactly what makes where someone marched so special. And for those of us that have or do march, it can sometimes be difficult to remember all of those things, and often we forget some of it. This project aims to help people from both backgrounds by documenting the traditions of each band, what started them, what they are, and why they matter. This will help to further the overall understanding of why members love marching band, and to preserve the precious moments that live in our hearts so that we may never forget.

Anyone can edit this spreadsheet, so this will be run purely on the honors system. Please add any bands and traditions you know of/are willing to share. When adding a bands tradition, if there isn't already, please create a google doc with the traditions presented in it and add the link to the band name. Make the google doc clear and understandable. When adding a google doc, it must have General Access, meaning anyone with the link can open the doc. Also make the doc open to Edits or Comments so that others can add either new or forgotten traditions. Be as accurate and truthful as you can.

This will be a huge undertaking and will require collaboration with people from many different places, so please lend your help in ensuring your traditions live on forever, at least in writing.
