Cuncert Band, Thundering Herd lll Variety marks bands o two players were alike, according to band director Warren Casey , and the four Harding bands offered instrumentalists a choice. Two of those bands, the concert and the marching bands , served completely different purposes. The intent of the marching band, the Thundering Herd, was solely to provide music and entertainment at Harding's home football games, whereas the concert band was designed "to play quality symphonic band literature," according to Casey, who added, "We use this band as an advertising tool for the University and the music program." Because of the different natures of the bands, auditions and practices differed. To get into the concert band, a student had to have a playing audition while the Thundering Herd required marching skills. According to Thomas Cox, a member of both ~ands, the marching band was the more open of the two, and required less technical skill. The concert band, because of its more rigid requirements, produced more competition between individuals for band positions. The marching band ended its season with the football team, but the concert band continued through the spring semester, touring Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska during spring break, and also performing twice for the student body in chapel. "The performance aspect is a key issue for all of our groups," said Casey. 'They like to play- they like to practice." He added, 'We judge ourselves. When you judge yourself you're working on a higher plane than when someone else judges you." J1t
