<\/a>Austin Peay Governors’ Own Marching Band to feature 500 musicians at November 7th APSU Football game.<\/p><\/div>\n
\u201cI sent them the music ahead of time, and we\u2019re going go to the stadium that morning and learn the drill together,\u201d he said. \u201cIt adds an element of excitement to see everyone work together and learn the material so quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guest musicians will be coming from high schools across the state for the rare opportunity to perform during a college football game with a collegiate band.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an event called GOMB Day, where these high school students get to be Governors for a day,\u201d Schnettler said. \u201cIn high school, bands are usually 60-80 people, so to be part of a 500-member band will be thrilling for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fourth annual event serves primarily as a recruiting day by allowing top musicians from across Tennessee to be part of the famed Governors\u2019 Own Marching Band.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe band is a point of pride for the University, and that helps our students keep the bar high,\u201d Schnettler said. \u201cThey recognize how important it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of the GOMB\u2019s professionalism, Schnettler said Saturday\u2019s game will let music lovers experience a spectacular performance when more than 500 instruments come together harmoniously. The November 7th APSU Governors Football game against Southeast Missouri begins at 4:00pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
