<p>Are there are small schools (under 10,000) in northeast who have marching bands?</p>
<p>In general, marching bands go along with major college (1-A) football. The set of major college football programs doesn’t overlap very much with schools under 10K or schools in the northeast. Boston College would be a smaller NE university with a band. In the South you’d have Wake Forest, Duke and Vandy. A lot of NEern schools will have “scramble” bands which are satires of marching bands. The “Mucho Macho Moo Cow Marching Band” at Williams (which incidentally, doesn’t march) is an example.</p>
<p>Holy Cross, Harvard, Dartmouth</p>
<p>Gettysburg, Moravian and Lehigh in Pennsylvania all have marching bands.</p>
<p>thank you for responses. I think they need to be less selective than Dartmouth and Harvard. Would also need to be a somewhat liberal campus.
Gettyburg and Moravian might be good choices though.</p>
<p>Harvard and Dartmouth have scramble bands (as do all the Ivies but Cornell). Holy Cross has a “marching band” but it’s primarily a pep band - it has only 26 members. The “Lehigh 97” has only had 55-70 members in recent years. But Gettysburg and Moravian seem to be real finds - actual LACs with actual marching bands!</p>
