Albion College Marching Band
"The British Eighth"


2007 British Eighth
back to ensembles

The Albion College marching band, The British Eighth, performs for all home football games, and other special activities; including parades, pep rallies, numerous other on-campus and off-campus events. Most recently they marched in the 80th anniversary America's Thanksgiving Day Parade in downtown Detroit. The British Eighth is open to all students regardless of major or marching experience. Auditions are held during pre-season camp for chair placement only. Beginning with pre-season camp held the week prior to the start of classes in August, The British Eighth performs a new show for each home football game. This extremely spirited organization derives its name and marching style from the famed British Eighth honor guard. The British Eighth is under the direction of Director of Bands - Dr. Samuel McIlhagga.

Do you have questions about the British Eighth, or would you like to join us for the 2007-2008 season? E-mail Dr. McIlhagga at smcilhagga@albion.edu, or phone the music office at 517-629-0481.
