HUNDRED PICTURES

!

! 9!

Now, we’ll let you figure out the “secrets” of Hundred for yourself (and even “Colonel-isms”), but there are a few things that I feel would be good to understand:

!! “Band ‘ten hut!” is what you will hear at the beginning or end of a regular practice day or whenever a staff

member needs to get the band’s attention and is usually followed by a high-knee in place and a unison “IU!”

!! “Study hard! Dismissed!” is what Colonel/Mr. Woodley yells to dismiss the band at the end of practice

and is followed by a resounding “WOO!” !

! Before I get into talking about the procedure of pre-game, our pre-game rehearsals include the signature “hunker down” that you ALWAYS hear being chanted by a few members. Make sure to hunker down so that those watching… can’t see you?

The Pre-Game Show:

An always excellent IU football game is not complete without the Marching Hundred’s pre-game show, which never fails to rouse Memorial Stadium in support of their ever-consistent football team. Upon having marched to the stadium in a parade formation complete with more horn moves and chants than you can shake a stick at, the band sprints past bewildered, excited fans to the depths of Memorial Stadium where we wait in separate lines for the 22-minute mark, which is when the show begins. Before the show begins, and when both lines are ready, the drum major does his signature whistle: “TWEET-TWEET,” which the band responds to with “RAWR!” This chant never fails to draw the audience’s attention to the opposite ends of the field, where we exit from to start the show. After the band is at the ready, the drum captain taps off on his drum to begin “X-Cadence,” which signals the beginning of the pre-game show. When this cadence starts, the drumline and sousaphones (the “sousies,” if you will) begin marching onto the field as the rest of the band, positioned on opposite ends of the field, jumps in place, yelling “AAAAAHHHHHHH!” for three full measures before chanting “1-2-12-ready-go!” and then sprinting to their positions on the football field. Once a marcher reaches their spot on the field, they will continue to double time to the beat until the rest of the band has reached their spots. Once the entire formation is complete (watch for this!), Colonel raises his hands and the cymbals signal the end of the cadence while the band chants “8- 6-7-5, LET’S GO IU!” while continuing to jump in place. After this chant is finished, the band high-steps in place for three bars, finishing with a plant and a horns-up. Then, the “IU Fanfare” begins (play LOUDLY and FULL) and we’re off! After we finish playing the fanfare, the entire band begins to high-step and play “Indiana, Our Indiana,” the school fight song, as we move up and down the field (this section, complete with plenty of about- faces and three-spins, is usually my cardio workout for the week). After completing the fight song, we’re through with all that high-stepping business and move onto playing some Marching Hundred favorites while in various formations. The pre-game show never fails to be a whole lot of fun! Plus, at the end, we sprint off the field as quickly as we can to make way for the football team.

I hope this sheds at least a little bit of light on this whole process!

HUNDRED & PRE-GAME TERMS

! 10!

Hey guys, my name is Andrew Turpin, by the time you are reading this I’ll be a senior majoring in history. I am from Crawfordsville, IN, play clarinet, and am a member of Tau Beta Sigma. So the first game of the year, for one it is not on a Thursday it is actually on a decent day this year, and for most it is a scary thing to do in the first week of school. Don’t worry about it; the main thing to remember during this long Saturday is to have fun with it all. There will be a lot happening on game days, this is just going to give an outline of the day. The important aspects will be outlined but it’s probably best if there is some kind of surprise for you guys.

The beginning of the day, depending on the start time of the game, can be really early in the morning. We have to be down at Memorial Stadium in our assignment block; you’ll get this spot later, at least 5 hours before the game kicks off. This means if the game kicks off at noon then we have to be there at 7am and so on and so forth. We will have almost a regular practice on the field at this time in the day, sectionals followed by concert arcs followed by a pregame and halftime run through.

Once that is done with and looks good we get a small break to talk, relax, and get a drink of water. The next part of the day is all about “hijinks and hilarity”. From the stadium we march up to the area where The Walk will take place. Here is where we play for the fans that are at the game, and welcome the team to Memorial Stadium. After this small pep rally is the second best part of the day, breakfast/lunch/rest time. There may or may not be a meal provided for you at this time, tell your parents to go to marchinghundredmeal.com and donate if they can.

After this nice long and deserved break, it’s finally game time! Best part of the day right here. First item up is marching to the stadium; remember “hijinks and hilarity”. Then it’s time for pregame on the field! Then we get to watch a football game, from the stands, until halftime when we get to do our halftime show. Once that’s done its time to watch the rest of the game. After the game we do a postgame performance, where we stand in concert arcs and play some tunes for the fans that are still in the stands. After that, and a march back to the fieldhouse, our day is done.

This may seem like a lot and may sound boring, trust me it is the opposite of both. Although we do a lot on game days, it will not seem like a lot after a while. No part of this day is boring, the people in your section will make sure of that. Just have fun with all of this, that’s kind of what we are there for, except for the whole playing an instrument thing. There are a lot of details that I chose to not talk about, you will learn, but overall this is the outline of what our Saturday’s will look like, times change and some parts of the day can be moved around so be flexible. If you have questions before, during, and after the game do not be afraid to ask. The worst thing you can do is not ask.

Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma

Information

!

! 15!

Kappa Kappa Psi !

So you’re probably wondering exactly what organizations have put this little collection of information together for you. Here at IU there are two organizations that exist and thrive on serving the department of bands. There is an honorary fraternity Kappa Kappa Psi and an honorary sorority Tau Beta Sigma. There is no restriction of gender for either organization. !The band fraternity, Kappa Kappa Psi, exists to provide student service and leadership to the department of bands at any university. We try to provide useful and organized service activities in relation to the band and to create an amazing and unprecedented experience to every member who joins. The term “honorary fraternity” is based on the idea that it is an honor to serve the bands, its department of music, its sponsors, and band music on a national scale at other colleges and universities. !The chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at Indiana University is known as Alpha Zeta. We provide service to all organizations related to the department of bands, including The Marching Hundred, Big Red Basketball Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, and the All-Campus Band. We provide many services to the band, including providing water bottles and snacks for Marching Hundred game day, putting up posters advertising for band concerts, and basically anything else the band department asks of us. !Recruitment events are held throughout the fall for those interested in joining Kappa Kappa Psi. These are events where freshman (you guys!) can meet current brothers and other freshman. The events include group dinners, swimming, game nights, and many more. There is no pressure to go to every single recruitment event, but it is a great way to meet current members of Kappa Kappa Psi and to truly understand what our organization is about.

Tau Beta Sigma !!!

The co-ed band sorority, Tau Beta Sigma, works not only provides exceptional service to the collegiate bands, but to also promote equality and diversity, specifically empowering women in the band profession. We exist to serve the band program, much like Kappa Kappa Psi, but we also reach beyond the college bands to teach others in the community about music and what it means to be a musician. Our goals are to promote the collegiate bands, honor the outstanding members in these bands, develop great leaders, and to promote and provide a meaningful social experience for all those involved in collegiate bands.

The Rho Chapter at Indiana University focuses mainly on aiding the Marching Hundred as well as the various ensembles on campus. For Marching Hundred, we hope to provide care packages, snacks, and buttons among other merchandise to make the experience better. Outside of Hundred, we put on and work the small receptions after any of the concerts as requested. We also act to help our brothers in Alpha Zeta in their efforts as needed, specifically in helping to spread the word of their endeavors. Rho chapter also moves out of the collegiate bands to reach out to the community. This past year we have out on two seminars to teach young Girl Scouts about music so they could get a specific badge, but also form a greater appreciation for music. We have also gone to Girls Inc. to teach young girls the instruments in band and to give them a try at playing them. The last major role of our Rho chapter is to build strong bonds between our sisters. It has always been important to us that we have good relationships within our sorority, chapter and district-wide, in order to form a group that people will want to be a part of. We hold sisterhood events as much as possible to create a better sense of a sisterhood bond. We want to empower the young men and women of our sorority to reach new heights and to really mean it when they say, “With our sisters, I am best.” Our recruitment events are held in the fall. These are great opportunities to come meet us, the sisters, and to consider joining, or just get to know us. Our recruitment events often include: Water Wars, coffee nights, bowling, or just about anything we come up with on the fly. You are by no means committed if you go to an event, but we do hope you will come to learn what Tau Beta Sigma does and consider joining us in the bond. !Contributed!by!Gregory!Block!

WHAT DO I BRING?!?!?!

Dear Hundred Rookies,

Hello! My name is Megan Rohlfing. I’m a sophomore who is majoring in Environmental Management and I play mellophone for Hundred. If you have questions about the Health Center, you’re in the right place! Below you’ll find a general overview of the Health Center, and you can always visit http://healthcenter.indiana.edu/ for any further clarifications.

First off, the Health Center is located on 600 North Jordan Avenue; an easily accessible location for many students. Its unique building is easy to recognize! The Health Center provides a variety of services: medical appointments for various illnesses or injuries, a women’s clinic, a health and wellness center to help with any dietary concerns, CAPS for excellent counselor care on any issue you may want to discuss, a pharmacy to pick up any medications, immunization and allergy shots, physical therapy, and much more! The medical clinic has a fee of $20, the women’s clinic is free, and the first two visits to CAPS will be free, and later visits are only $20. The Health and Wellness Center gives students a free first visit, and subsequent visit prices are determined by your appointment. Other specialty visits for things like x-rays or physical therapy are handled on a case-by-case basis when it comes to the appointment cost. Most visits, excluding prescriptions, are less than $50. So the overall cost of the Health Center is relatively low and manageable as you can bill your visits to your Bursar and have your insurance cover medicines you pick up from the pharmacy. After you bill your appointment to the Bursar, keep the itemized receipt to send to your insurance agency so they will reimburse the cost of the fee!

I know it may be a little daunting to go visit a new doctor or ask for help from CAPS or pick up medicine from a new pharmacy, but don’t worry. Everyone at the Health Center wants to help you in any way that they can. So don’t be nervous to ask where the Health and Wellness Center is, don’t hesitate to ask where the checkout counter is (it’s on the 2nd floor and NEVER forget to go there after a visit). They are all willing to help you with anything you need—all you have to do is ask.

I hope you’ve learned some valuable information here and there’s more on their website http://healthcenter.indiana.edu/ so feel free to explore it and figure out what you could benefit from at the Health Center!

Have a great time prepping for college and I’ll see you at Band Camp! ☺

Sincerely, Megan Rohlfing

IU HEALTH CENTER

!Though many of you have probably visited IU and taken a tour of campus before

deciding to enroll here and, there are still many beautiful and amazing places to check out that you may not be informed about. Although you may have walked through the Indiana Memorial Union, there are many opportunities and places within the Union that are not seen on the tour. The Union plays movies for free (with your student id) every weekend, sometimes showing premieres or sneak peaks of movies that are not yet out on DVD or in theaters. Also, food establishments throughout the IMU, like Sugar and Spice, allow students to buy goodies in between classes or during study sessions. Outside surrounding the Union is Dunn Meadow, a great place to throw a Frisbee around with your friends or to relax on a nice day and study under a tree. If you are looking to treat yourself, try checking out Baked!, a cookie bakery on 3rd street where you can custom order cookies and eat them right out of the oven (They also deliver to the dorms!!!). Another great find is the Crimson Creamery, found near the Gresh dining hall in Foster Quadrangle, where you can buy large quantities of hand scooped ice cream with your meal points. Assuming that all of you Hundred rookies are music lovers, be sure to check out the MAC (Musical Arts Center) to listen to fantastic concert bands and jazz performances for free, along with operas and ballets for cheap with your student id, all performed by the talented Jacob School of Music students. Lastly, Kirkwood and College Mall are great places to hangout with friends, eat good food, and spend some cash. Full with shops and restaurants, Kirkwood has many stores to build up your IU wardrobe, buy funny gifts (from Greetings or Urban Outfitters), or top fro-yo with any candy imaginable at Campus Candy. IU has so many amazing hidden treasures that they don’t tell you on the tour that are just waiting to be discovered.

!Welcome to college where you will actually need to study! Now, you can do this on your bed, but if you are prone to naps, which you will be, this can be a terrible idea. You could use your desk, but most likely it will soon be covered with too much junk- junk you don’t even remember setting there. Your floor has a lounge; this is usually a solid option as long as there aren’t too many other people causing a ruckus in there. The best place to get things done, in my opinion, is, not shockingly, the library. When you have a big load of homework to get done in a limited amount of time, you are going to want to find a quiet and spacious place to do it, and that is just what the library provides. Along with the designated quiet areas, there are other people there; this will make you less inclined to just get on Facebook; there will be too many judgy eyes. My second favorite place to study is the union. If you have a big break between classes go to the union and do your homework. You will be glad you didn’t save it for the evening, trust me. The union has quite a few study spots: Starbucks, food court, any lounge, and library desks hidden on the top floor. You’ll find your own spots where you are most productive, these are just some suggestions in the meantime. Happy Studying!

BUSES AT B-TOWN

Dear Rookies,

I know you'll hear it a lot, but welcome to Indiana University! I'm Paige Kibbler, a former resident of Vernon Hills, Illinois, a sophomore, a Mellophone player, a Music Education major, a French Horn playa (in real life), a current resident of Forest Dorm (3A what up!), and your guide on a journey through making this gigantic, 40,000+ school a little smaller. My main topic for you is the resources IU has to offer. From Libraries to IT, IU has TONS of stuff! The first place you should go is iuware.iu.edu . This is a website where you can download and stream a bunch of FREE software onto your new hardware! Don't bother buying Adobe Acrobat, security software, Microsoft Office, or Finale/Sibelius (for you music writing people). It's all right there, just waiting for you to get started! For more IT information and help, Visit uits.iu.edu , which is the main IT webpage. You can also call 812-855-6789 or visit their desk in the Wells Library for immediate assistance (which is very helpful when figuring out how the internet works). Speaking of the library, the Herman B Wells library is the main library on campus. It is located on the corner of 10th and Jordan, kitty corner from the Health center (again, very convenient!). I would suggest venturing there with a friend the first time, because it is HUGE! There are tons of nooks and crannies for studying, and of course, tons of books! The outer walls of it look a little funny, and I was once told it is because it was designed to look like stacks of books (appropriate, I know). However, as a music major, I am more familiar with the William & Gayle Cook Music Library (or just the music library). It’s located on the corner of 3rd and Jordan, on the first floor of the Simon building. From the entrance you will find 3 floors of study spaces, computers (pc and mac), and of course, stacks and stacks of musical scores and books about music. The best way I've found to find anything in any library is to search for it first on iucat.iu.edu . From that website, you can search by title, author, or subject, and then refine your search to see results that are from a certain library. There is also an increasing amount of library resources online as well, that will be available right from the website. To figure out where a book is, first search for it and then click on the title of the book you're looking for. This will take you to a more detailed page, at the bottom of which will tell you the Dewey decimal number and the general location of the book (if it says "stacks" that means it's on the shelves). That's all the basic info I have on the resources at IU, but I will say that if you can't find something you need and your section and floor mates can't find it either, Google may have some more answers.

In terms of other advice, I only have a few things. DO NOT WALK to Hundred Hall for the first rookie meeting because believe me, I did that and it took 40 minutes and it was quite warm outside. If you ask your section's UGs, they can find someone to give you a ride. Also, Bring food for breakfast for the whole week because the dining halls are always weird about being open at the right times during the first few weeks, and eating breakfast will make your life much easier. The biggest question I had leading up to band camp was "what is an UG?" Well, at the end of every year the section decides on a 2 or 3 people to represent the section and help bring the rookies up to speed on marching and make sure that you guys are having a great time! Feel free to ask these people anything! My favorite restaurant and date idea are the same place: Mother Bear's Pizza! It's located on 3rd street, very close to Forest and Read dorms. The pizza there is award winning, and if awkward silence happens or you run out of things to talk about, you can always comment on the funny and strange things people have written on the seats and walls! It's foolproof! If you have any questions about anything, feel free to find me on
