CONSTRUCTION AT WESTBROOK MUSIC BUILDING
There is a considerable amount of construction taking place in and around Westbrook Music Building which also affects traffic flow. There are large construction vehicles moving around the music building at the North 11th Street cul-de-sac between the Lied Center for Performing Arts and Westbrook Music Building. Entrance to Westbrook Music Building is from the east side only. All entrances on the west side of the music building are inaccessible due to construction.
MESSAGE FROM PROFESSOR FALCONE
Congratulations on passing the first round of auditions for the Cornhusker Marching Band! You are part of an elite group that now has the opportunity to become a part of one of the finest college marching bands in the country and perhaps the most visible student organization on the University campus.
There are exciting things ahead for us this season, and I’m anxious to get going. The first-round auditions have been outstanding. We’ll have some work to do at band camp to reach our roster limit, so you’ll need to be prepared. It’s very important that you read the information on this web site and respond accordingly. We’re going to be looking for the 300 best performers with the best attitudes that we can put on the field.
For those of you who are joining us as new members, the amount of material, and the pace at which it must be mastered may seem overwhelming. Much of this is available to you once you register for class on Canvas and if they haven't already your Section Leadership will be reaching out to help you navigate it all. The more you can do over the summer the better. Do the best you can, and remember that you have a large support group of the best people on this campus at your disposal. Don’t be shy about seeking help. Also, there will be those who will try and discourage you from participating. The band is perhaps the best gateway into campus involvement there is. There are typically over 60 different academic majors represented. The band can help you to be a more successful student. You can do it!
I hope that our veterans will continue to hone their skills, and lead by example. The great traditions of the CMB live in you. Your knowledge and experience are vital to our success. We are a family; be there for each other!
One area that will need your special attention over the summer (this goes for all of us) is your physical preparedness. If you have been relatively sedentary over the summer, the dramatic increase in activity can be a shock to the system if you're not prepared. There is a strength/fitness program developed specifically for the marching arts posted on Canvas. Get outside, move, stretch and breath!
Again, congratulations for making it to this level. You should take great pride in your accomplishment, for there are many talented individuals that we could not invite to camp. I look forward to meeting you in August and to helping this year’s version of “THE PRIDE OF ALL NEBRASKA” become the ultimate in collegiate marching bands!
Sincerely,
Professor Anthony M. Falcone
Associate Director of Bands
Director, Cornhusker Marching Band
