It is moronic for the administration to insist that the new Director be from outside the OSU Band experience. It simply makes no sense to bring in an outsider, when this Band has its own unique sound, instrumentation, and style, and is the gold standard for college marching bands in this country. We have never gone outside the OSUMB circle for a Director, just like we don't go outside the OSU football program for a head coach. The only one that was brought into OSU without prior experience in the football program was John Cooper, and as good a coach and recruiter as he was, he could never quite get the OSU ethos. That will be true of the Band, if the administration and Trustees continue on their self-imposed path of destruction.
