"The British Eighth"
Alumni Band

The 2007 British Eighth Alumni Band with guest
conductor and
Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Mr. Eric Becher.
The 2007 Alumni Band was a great success! There were
many new faces to the alumni band, as well as some old, (not in years)
familiar ones. Tim Newsted ('78) celebrated his 30th year as an alumni
band member, and Ryan Lewis ('97) celebrated 10 years! The size of the
band continues to grow with every year and it is our hope that we can
eventually become as large (or larger) than the British Eighth itself!
We all enjoyed each other's company, played some great
music by Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and got a chance to work, really work,
with Mr. Becher, a former band director himself. As you all know, band
is one of the activities/classes on campus here at Albion College that
creates a lasting bond among its members, and it is so wonderful to see
all of the past members and hear all of their "band stories" and relive
a little bit of the Albion College experience. We may have graduated,
but we are all still a part of the "greatest marching band in the MIAA!"
Io Triumphe!!!
