Tomcat Marching Pride to host eighth annual Marching Band Preview Day

GREENVILLE, Pa.-- Thiel College, a leading liberal arts college in northwest Pennsylvania, holds its eighth annual Marching Band Preview Day on Oct. 21.

Past events have drawn high school students from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. Attendees will arrive Saturday, rehearse during the day and perform at halftime of Thiel College’s game against Carnegie Mellon University. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Alumni Stadium at Stoeber Field.

 “We invite local and regional students to campus to rehearse and perform with the college marching band at the football game, and we provide all participants not only with a fun performance opportunity, but also with a great overview of our college, dinner in our cafeteria, admission to the game, and a Thiel band T-shirt,” Thiel Tomcat Marching Pride director Andy Erb said.

The Thiel Tomcat Marching Pride comprises 100 members and is celebrating its eighth season. In that time, the Marching Pride has played at many local and regional band festivals and performed at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
