Yeah, team 2164 had about 75% of our members in band last year. I actually ended up being ten points short of lettering last year because I went to our second robotics regional instead of going to our symphonic band's state band contest (that was 300 lettering points gone... after scratching and clawing for points from anything I could, I ended up ten points short. Talk about frustration).
This year is even worse. Although we doubled in size, only four of the students on the team this year aren't in band.
Our band does glide step. You don't hear of many high step bands anymore. It seems to be almost seems to be a lost art.
