"Joining the SUMB gave me something I never had before:
self confidence. There is nothing better than knowing
that you have a huge family to be your support system
through all your endeavors inside and outside of band"
"Joining the SUMB has been one of the best
decisions of my college career. Not only has it
provided me with a great social outlet outside of my school work, the SUMB has given me wonderful friends
and unforgettable memories."
“Marching band has given me a lot of opportunities to grow
as a leader and a person…It's been a really great
experience!”
“Joining the SUMB was without a doubt the best
decision of my college career.It's where I found a home
away from home, friends thatbecame family, and a place
that I can call my own.”
“It’s a judge-free zone where I can be myself and instill the
joy, power, and beauty of music with all of my closest
friends. When I graduate, the SUMB will have provided me
with the best memories.”

"I'm not sure what my first year of college would have
been like without the SUMB . It's given me a fantastic group of friends and memories that I
know I'll have for the next three years and beyond."
SUMB Orange Peel | 2Meet the Director, Professor Justin Mertz
Greetings! I hope you are all having a good and productive summer, that your jobs or internships are going well,
and that you’re getting some time to relax and enjoy the time off from school. It’s very quiet up here without all of
you and we look forward to seeing you back on campus. Trust me, the summer will be over before you know it,
so be sure to make the most of it!
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what makes the SUMB special. Among other things, I think it’s
that we are able to create a purpose-driven community that includes people from all walks of life where people
can “be who they are.” There just isn’t anything else like the SUMB on campus – not only because nothing else
is a marching band, but also because there is no other thing that has the close-knit community that we do, one
that spans every age group and school and college on this (and other!) campus(es). It’s unique, and I think that
we should all take a second and appreciate the fact that members of the SUMB have a musical and social
experience that no one else can. If you’re thinking about joining us for the first time, I strongly urge you to do it.
Be a part of the SUMB family.
We are already deep into planning for the 2016 season; music is currently being arranged and I’m positive you’ll
truly enjoy performing it. We will again be performing a lot of music this year and our shows include a wide
variety of music, from music celebrating the spectacle of the Olympics to the music of the most influential women
artists as we mark 50 years of women in the SUMB (where else but a marching band can you find such a weirdly
fun variety of music?). As always, I am eager to hear your ideas for music for us to play in the stands; you can
email me at [email protected] and let me know what your suggestions are. If you find yourself in the Syracuse
area this summer, be sure to stop by and say hello!
To the Leadership and returning Vets: I anxiously await getting back to work on another season. Your dedication
and hard work make the SUMB the great band it is; thanks to your dedication and commitment there is no limit to
what the SUMB can achieve. I am very much looking forward to working together again, and I urge you to share
any ideas you have.
To the incoming Rookies: let me be the first to welcome you to SU and/or the SUMB. You are in for an incredibly
fun and memorable experience that I’m sure will start (or continue) your college careers off in fine fashion. The
Drum Majors, Leadership, and I will work hard to orient you to the Pride and the University.
Everyone: college bands have an interesting and multifaceted mission: to
reach and entertain large numbers of diverse audiences, and to make their
host campuses better places to be. Let’s show them what the SUMB is all
about!
All of you will have to take responsibility for the continued success of the
band. Sometimes, we have to contend with circumstances outside our
control, like how good our sports teams are(n’t). No matter what, we must do
what we have always done: strive for and attain musical and visual
excellence. This is a great time to be in the SUMB and as you saw from the
last few years, there is no limit to what we can achieve when we all do our
part.
As you read this, Band Camp is just a few months away! It may seem like a
long time, but it will fly by. Until then, know that things are already happening
to guarantee a fun and successful season. Enjoy the rest of your summer,
and of course…Go Orange!

Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma are the national honorary band fraternity and sorority whose membership is open to
college students who have participated in a college band program. Our common goals are not only to provide the band with
organized service activities, but also to give our membership quality experiences in leadership and social contacts while
assisting the Directors in developing quality ensembles. The fraternity and sorority, founded in 1919 and 1946 respectively,
are now present in over 100 major colleges and universities. Famous alumni include: John Phillip Sousa, Doc Severinson, and
Count Basie. The national aspect of our fraternity and sorority provides our members with many contacts from other
universities throughout the year. The Eta Phi and Eta Alpha Chapters at SU serve a major role in all band activities. Brothers
and sisters are always ready to assist the band in service as well as provide such intangible items as morale, spirit,
enthusiasm, and a positive attitude within the band, always remembering that “It is an honor to be selected to serve.” If you have
any questions concerning the organizations, ask any Kappa Kappa Psi or Tau Beta Sigma member at band camp.

To participate in the SUMB, you are required to register for

Moore for a permission code. Students who are NOT VPA
majors or VPA minors will be charged $75 per credit hour for
VPA courses. These charges will be applied to your bursar
account after the Financial Drop Deadline.
Credits for SUMB can count as an elective in numerous
degree programs. However, not all programs accept band
credits as electives. If a SUMB credit can not count as
an elective in a specific degree, it does not mean you
cannot participate. Check with your advisor to see if band
credit may be counted as an elective for your major.

described in the course syllabus (included in the SUMB
Handbook that you will receive during band camp).

There are many tough decisions that a high school
senior has to make, and some of the most important
ones involve which col lege to attend and what to
study. Another big decision is whether or not your
student would like to continue being involved in music in
college by participating in bands and, especially, in
marching band. Here are some of the questions most
asked by family members when their student is
considering joining the “Pride of the Orange.”
Q: Does my student have to be a music major to play in theSUMB?A: Not at all! Over 70% of our marching band members are in a major other than music.
Q: How much of a time commitment is the SUMB?
A: There will be three two-hour rehearsals on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (7:00 pm - 9:00 pm) during weeks when there are no games. A Friday evening and Saturday morning rehearsal will be added for performance weeks.
Q: Will my students’ grades suffer because of marching band?A: No! In fact, the grade point averages of marching band students are higher than the overall university averages.Band members’ GPAs are often higher in the fall semester than they are in the spring when the band no longer meets.
Q: My student has a tough major. Will there be time formarching?A: If a student wants to be in the band, there is time! Someone already in the band probably has the same major as your student and can provide peer information to help.
Q: If my student doesn’t get involved with the band program the first year, can he/she still participate later on?
A: Of course! Just let us know so that we can keep your student information on file.
Q: Will I be able to spend time with my studentduring band camp?A: No. Once the students' arrive, they will be rehearsing throughout each day of band camp.
Q: Do we need to buy season tickets to football games for our student?
A: No! As a member of the marching band, he/she will not need tickets to the football games. If you’d like to buythem for yourselves, please contact the Carrier DomeTicket Office at (315) 443-2121 or go to suathletics.com.

SUMB Orange Peel | 10Family Corner
“As there was not a marching band in our local high school, I
was concerned that my daughter might not have the
necessary marching experience. No need to worry. Band
Camp taught her all that she needed to know to be ready to
confidently enjoy the Band's first performance. In addition to
moving in early, my daughter made her first college friends at
Band Camp, as well as other students in her major who
would go on to act as mentors to her. Starting her first
semester at SU knowing many of her peers and feeling
comfortable on campus set her off on the road to success.”
“When my Southern California born and raised son
decided to attend college at Syracuse University,
I was more than a little concerned.
Thankfully, his band mates welcomed him with open
arms and became his family for four great years!
We can’t possibly thank you all enough!”

Where the vale of Onondaga
Meets the eastern sky
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
On her hilltop high.
Flag we love! Orange!
Float for aye, old Syracuse o’er thee.
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory.
