That is the problem I have with TROY's band, they have become so cocky, and believe there is no one that is as good as them. See and old director from Troy taught me when I was in Troy's band that it is great to be confindent but it is a true sign of maturity when you can be humble also. Any other words, there are band just as good as Troy, about 3 hours northeast of here.

See you say that without knowing all 330 of us. Yes I believe we are one of the best bands out there... and this band u keep mentioning 3 hours north is I'm assuming JSU..... You call us cocky? I have never met or talked to one band member/student that goes there that was ever humble.... its always JSU is WAYYYYY beyond Troy by all means... So yeah we're confident and we believe that we are the best around but we also recognize other bands. I respect what JSU has but they aren't the best in Alabama nor in the nation.... and have no reason to act that way.

As I said before I created this thread to figure out about FIU's band... that backfired apparently... ANYWAYS, I know a lot of Troy grads that will be looking for jobs as directors very soon. A lot of them are going into High school directing but perhaps they could be assistant directors at the college level? I have no idea, I don't really know that much about the certain degrees one needs to be a director at the college level.
