Virginia Tech Military Appreciation Half-Time Show featuring the East Carolina University Marching Pirates, the Marching Virginians, and the Highty Tighties.
This was such a fun show. My favorite part was seeing an older gentleman in the crowd stand, salute, and sing the Marines' Hymn loudly and proudly when the bands started to play it. That and also hearing one of my best buds sing The U.S. Air Force at full volume while playing his drum.
The Real Hokie Pokie - Virginia Tech style, none the less
part of our show this weekend :)
The Marching Thunder, the Marching Virginians, and the Highty Tighties forming the US at the Marshall vs. VT game yesterday.
Virginia Tech's Marching Virginians are getting new home. The marching band's new facilities will include a roughly 4,300-square-foot building for instrument storage and percussion practice, and an attached, 3,500-square-foot pavilion that will provide covered space for the full band to practice, rain or shine. The project also includes a lighted practice field.
"Most of the donations have come from Marching Virginians alumni, who recognize that they had a unique experience during their time with the band and are really devoted to ensuring that future members have an even better experience than they had," said Dave McKee, who directs the Marching Virginians in addition to being a senior instructor in the School of Performing Arts.
Funding for the project is a partnership, with a significant portion coming from the Department of Athletics. Recreational Sports is contributing as well, and construction is also being funded by donations raised by the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.
