Albion College Marching Band
"The British Eighth"

2005
back to pictures and video

In it's third year under the direction of Dr. Samuel McIlhagga, the B8 has experienced another season of growth! A grand total of 75 dedicated (and slightly insane) musicians took the field for each of five home games this season. As always, Pre-Season Camp was a ton of fun. Getting loads of work done on Pre-Game and Show #1 was balanced with another year of The Band Olympics, our now traditional Bon Fire, and of course the trip to Laud's Ice Cream Parlor. Shows for this season included The "British Eighth" Invasion, our Homecoming "Celebration," British Eighth: The Musical, as well as the senior show: a Tribute to Senior Night! Below are some of the highlights of the season through pictures as well as some video of our always unique game day performances.

This year's drum majors were Kevin Ryan and Shannon Grizzel. Guard Captains were Ashley Sobel and Heather Dueweke. The Spirit Leader was Danica Hernandez. Below are some of the more exciting videos and pictures from the season.
