Greetings! I hope you are all having a good and productive summer, that your jobs or internships are going well, and that you’re getting some time to relax and enjoy the time off from school. It’s very quiet up here without all of you and we look forward to seeing you back on campus. Trust me, the summer will be over before you know it, so be sure to make the most of it!

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what makes the SUMB special. Among other things, I think it’s that we are able to create a purpose-driven community that includes people from all walks of life where people can “be who they are”. There just isn’t anything else like the SUMB on campus – not only because nothing else is a marching band, but also because there is no other thing that has the close-knit community that we do, one that spans every age group and school and college on this (and other!) campus(es). It’s unique, and I think that we should all take a second and appreciate the fact that members of the SUMB have a musical and social experience that no one else can. If you’re thinking about joining us for the first time, I strongly urge you to do it. Be a part of the SUMB family.

We are already deep into planning for the 2015 season; music is currently being arranged and I’m positive you’ll truly enjoy performing it. We will again be performing a lot of music this year and our shows include a wide variety of music, from funk hits to the music of top film scores (where else but a marching band can you find such a weirdly fun variety of music?). As always, I am eager to hear your ideas for music for us to play in the stands; you can email me at [email protected] and let me know what your suggestions are. If you find yourself in the Syracuse area this summer, be sure to stop by and say hello!

To the Leadership and returning Vets: I anxiously await getting back to work on another season. Your dedication and hard work make the SUMB the great band it is; thanks to your dedication and commitment there is no limit to what the SUMB can achieve. I am very much looking forward to working together again, and I urge you to share any ideas you have.

To the incoming Rookies: let me be the first to welcome you to SU and/or the SUMB. You are in for an incredibly fun and memorable experience that I’m sure will start (or continue) your college careers off in fine fashion. The Drum Majors, Leadership, and I will work hard to orient you to the Pride and the University.

Everyone: college bands have an interesting and multifaceted mission: to reach and entertain large numbers of diverse audiences, and to make their host campuses better places to be. Let’s show them what the SUMB is all about!

All of you will have to take responsibility for the continued success of the band. Sometimes, we have to contend with circumstances outside our control, like how good our sports teams are(n’t). No matter what, we must do what we have always done: strive for and attain musical and visual excellence. This is a great time to be in the SUMB and as you saw from the last few years, there is no limit to what we can achieve when we all do our part.

As you read this, Band Camp is just under two months away! It may seem like a long time, but it will fly by. Until then, know that things are already happening to guarantee a fun and successful season. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and of course…Go Orange!

Hello 2015 band! I am extremely excited to begin my adventure with the Pride of the Orange Marching band!

Andrew Wiley Graduate Assistant [email protected]

To SUMB Members Old and New, Fall semester is nearly upon us, and I, in many of your shoes, counted down these last days with a growing sense of foreboding. Now however, as a many-time returning participant of the Band, I encourage you all to look forward to the new season and new year with the sense of excitement that has continued to bring me back. Many experiences here at SU will be rewarding, but you'll likely find none more so than your participation in this group. Whether it's the old cliché of being part of something "bigger than yourself" or the camaraderie gained through the sometimes trying efforts necessary to build an ensemble of quality, if you're up to the task, you're going to love your time with the SUMB. I'm hoping to see ALL of you in August, and enjoy the rest of your summer. All the Best, Andy Wiley Meet the Drum Majors SUMB Orange Peel | 5

The SUMB has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career thus far and I can’t wait for you to create some amazing memories of your own. We have a great year lined up and there are many staff members and leadership who will be there with you every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet all of you! See you soon! 

Mackenzie Mildram Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a great summer and getting excited for the upcoming SUMB season. I know it will be a great year for the Pride!

To the Vets: I'm really excited to work with you all to make this the best season yet! See you all soon, enjoy your summer! Go Orange!

Maria Savannah Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a fantastic summer, and enjoying the warm weather. The staff is working hard to prepare for the 2015- 16 season, and band camp will be here before you know it! To the vets: If you’re not counting down the days to band camp, you should be because there’s a fall full of BAND to look forward to! Have a great summer, and I can’t wait to see you back in the Dome for another fantastic season. To the rookies: Congrats on already making the best decision you could for your college years. When you join the SUMB this fall, you will meet some of the greatest people on campus, make unforgettable memories, and discover the true meaning of “PRIDE."

Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma are the national honorary band fraternity and sorority whose membership is open to college students who have participated in a college band program. Our common goals are not only to provide the band with organized service activities, but also to give our membership quality experiences in leadership and social contacts while assisting the Directors in developing quality ensembles. The fraternity and sorority, founded in 1919 and 1946 respectively, are now present in over 100 major colleges and universities. Famous alumni include: John Phillip Sousa, Doc Severinson, and Count Basie. The national aspect of our fraternity and sorority provides our members with many contacts from other universities throughout the year. The Eta Phi and Eta Alpha Chapters at SU serve a major role in all band activities. Brothers and sisters are always ready to assist the band in service as well as provide such intangible items as morale, spirit, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude within the band, always remembering that “It is an honor to be selected to serve.” If you have any questions concerning the organizations, ask any Kappa Kappa Psi or Tau Beta Sigma member at band camp.
