Guest coachacola Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Nice article in Lamar's University Press newspaper about bringing back the marching band for football: Deppe, a graduate assistant with Lamar’s marching band for a year, recalls his earlier experience when he helped to design some of the shows. “There was always a marching band when football was here previously, and there used to be well over 200 students back in the 1970s, sometimes 350. It was a big deal,†he said. The new director is hoping to make the latest incarnation a big deal too. He said the biggest challenge is increasing enrollment in the program, which currently has about 80 students. Deppe is already hard at work to bring in more talent. “We’re out recruiting right now,†he said.“We would like to start with close to 200 students in 2010.Realistically we’ll probably start with 125, and I’d like to grow it back to 250 or 300 in a few years.†After watching college football all day I'm ready for some LU football.
