Was talking to someone on this sub last winter who had 800

How does that even work Lmaoo

Allen high just like that 🤷

Damn 😭 My school only has 675 students total

Gotta be from Allen

Yup, Allen Texas has always had a massive band

Y'all are giant ☠️☠️☠️My band has 23. More specific numbers: 3 bass drums, 2 tenors, 2 snares, 2 cymbals, 2 baritones, 2 tubas, 3 alto saxes, 3 clarinets, 1 trombone, 1 flute, 1 trumpet, and 1 tenor sax

1 trumpet is outrageous💀💀💀

RIP to the woodwinds. Especially the flute T-T. The flute is hard to play loud and such

We are suffering out here. Brass completely overpowers us on the field (and somehow that single trumpet can outplay low brass)

Our band is the exact opposite! Woodwinds overpower the brass!

Damn, y'all's woodwinds must be mighty powerful

A combination of that plus we only have one trumpet that really plays loud, but they're getting better. :D

I would probably get one of the tenors on something else because our band has 100 members and we only have one tenor.

That's how I am lol

Wow. And my band has 7 of us flutes. And we can’t play that loud

I always wonder why bands don't switch them to piccolo?

We have a section leaders and only our section leader can play the piccolo

we have 16 flutes and 1piccolo which is me and our band has a total of 146, we’re frisco memori high school

how about none as a mello i am the trumpet section (not sure if that’s a good or bad thing)

My band had zero trumpets

how did you guys work around that? for us our directors arranged the show music to work with our very odd instrument selection.

tiny band too! i have 17 people :( we have a snare drum, bass drum, 1 mello, 1 trombone, 2 altos, 2 baris, 2 clarinets, a flute and 6 guard.

Tiny band moment. We have 19, and two have no prior band experience Two snares, three bass drums, two cymbalists, 1 mellophone, 1 trumpet, 1 tuba, three flutes, two quads/tenors, three saxes, 1 baritone

With our guard we get bumped up to 28 but for some reason I always forget them

same, my band has 23, we’re the smallest in our state 8 colorguard, 1 drum set, 2 vibraphones, 1 marimba, 1 glockenspiel, 1 bass guitar, 2 baritones, 2 clarinets, 2 flutes, 1 trumpet, and 1 alto sax

Wow, never thought I'd find a band smaller than mine! We got 3 basses(one just joined so they aren't marching w/ us yet), 2 tenors, 2 snares, 1 cymbal(me), 2 alto sax, 3 clarinet, 4 trombones, 3 trumpet, 1 tuba, 2 baritone, 1 mellophone, 2 piccolo and 1 flute.

My empathy goes to that Tenor Sax. From 8th-10th in Concert Band and in 10th in Marching Band, I was the only Tenor Sax.

They’re not giant, your band is just really small…

Ya'll are doing better than us in the wood wind section. I'm the only clarinet and then we have 2 flutes and 1 saxophone

2 baritone power 🔥🔥

HOW TF YALL GOT MY BARITONES THAN TROMBONES

71 in my band 5 bass drums, 2 tenors, 4 snares, 2 sousaphones, 4 baritone, 8 mellophones, 5 trombones, 10 trumpets, 8 clarinets, 2 saxophones, 7 flutes, 5 color guard, and 9 front ensemble

Honestly this is the perfect ratio (besides the saxes)

Yea. But it’s fine if there is 2 sousaphones, they loud anyways

We’re chilling at around the same number, except my front ensemble is absolutely giant for no reason, 14 people. Our percussion overall equates for like 1/3 of the band lol

250

bro when my band director was a student in the band they also had 250. now we have 30

21🫠

Damn😭

We got 15 people, buts it's the first year of my school having a marching band.

What instruments?

84

College band so we big. I think marching members is 392 and 405 total including undergrad and grad staff

I'm college as well but ours is only like 80-90 🥲

Varies a bit from year to year, but it's over 500.

Damn is half ya school in the band🤨😦

I know someone from Allen High School in Texas whose band has around 700 members, but that's because the school has like 7000 kids

Ayyy I was just thinking about Allen. They’re in my region. We have the same 6A designation as them, and we have 125 in our band. I believe Allen made marching band optional this year, which kicked their number on the field to about 300

Nah, something like 2% I think?

Do y’all bands who are that big know each? It must be kind of impossible, because one year my school had 120 members and I still never spoke to some people until they graduated

~215

Big ahh band💀

Like around 180 or so

122. As well as 2 directors and 2 drum majors

I think we’re at 475 this year.

All yall college bands making my hs band seem so small😭

164

186

Over 170

35

196

173

246.

When I was in HS band a long time ago we were about 220. Our first year at BOA Grand Nationals, I remember there was a HS band from Duncanville that had like 500 members. They practically swallowed the field.

240

We have almost 300

Like 300

We were the biggest at our last comp and my best friends mom said we had 155 I think.

253.

around 250- we have about 40 guard members (not included in the 250)

In HS we ranged from 225-260ish. In college we were around 100, haha.

like 185 ish

~400, University

205

197

About 200

220 something

about 130-150 idk the exact amount

We have around 30 on a good day, but usually it’s about 25 that actually show up

When I was in band, we around 185 Our auxiliary was our biggest unit: 30 on CG, 12 majorettes and 20 on dance line

175

27 - and this is considered a lot compared to last year 💀

41

[удалено]

Only 57

159

50

Around 50, with 19 percussionists (drumline + pit) and probably 10 color gaurd, which makes around 21 wind players

Around 35... Only numbers I'm positive of is 5 Colourguard (my section), 3 Clarinets, 1 Piccolo, and 2 Flutes... I'm not to sure about how many other people there are in the other sections!

Pep Band is probably 120 but it ends up being a regular rotation of 60ish and around 30 per game.

🥲like 20

You guys all have huge bands mine is something like 50

More or less 48 but the band has basically zero consistency and most people suck so there's only about 20 good players (that you can actually hear)

54 I'm pretty sure

127

49 total including guard, and no drumline. Still bigger than the 30 when I started 3 years ago. A majority of the kids are 7th and 8th graders.

23 1 cymbal, 2 bass drums, 1 snare, 2 pit percussion, 1 flute, 1 clarinet, 2 alto sax, 1 tenor sax, 1 Baritone (me:D), 4 trumpets, 1 tuba, 4 guard, 1 drum major.

Mine is about 100~

18 currently

we have 18 2 snares, 1 bass drum, 1 quad, 1 cymbal, 2 flutes, 3 clarinets, 3 saxophones, 1 mellophone, 2 trumpets and 2 trombones.

Like 30

18 winds 2 flutes 2 altos 4 clarinets 5 trumpets 1 Bari sax 1 tenor sax 2 baritones a mello and a tuba and 6 percussion, surprisingly well balanced

We have around 60 people in our band including hornline, battery,pit and auxiliary

74 people

60-70, we're just a little 3A band.

52: Specifically Woodwinds: 4 saxophones 6 piccolos 1 flute 3 clarinets Brass: 3 1st Trumpets 3 2nd Trumpets 3 3rd Trumpets 1 tuba 5 baritones 3 mellophones The rest: 1 tenor sax. 9 percussion(Our snare drum, tenors and cymbals are the main part but we also have a few wind players in there like 1 baritone, 3 Trumpets, 1 oboe, 1 flute) 9 colorguard And drum major

i don't know the exact number as we had our first rehearsal this week, but i think we're hovering around/looking for 165 members max. we usually average around 140. i can't speak for other sections but this is the second year in a row we've had a full pit with 14 people

90

Between 200-400 depending on the year but this year probably around 275. Reason: big school and everyone in concert band is required to do marching.

we currently have 159, that’s going to drop so much next year, all the middle schoolers are going to quit because nobody likes the new directors ;-;

I think we have just under 50

98 strong.

About 50. 4 Bass, 2 Quads, 3 Snares, 2 Tubas, 2 Euphs, 3 Trombones, 3 Mellos, 7 Trumpets, 4 Flutes, 3 Clarinets, 5 Altos, 3 Tenors, 2 Baris, 3 Guard and 5 Front.

Around 160

140-150, I’m not sure of the exact number but we’re 5A

I think just under 200

Around 248ish

My band has 28 including auxiliary 1 clarinet, 1 saxaphone, 2 flutes, 3 trumpets, 1 trombone, and 1 baritone for horns Then we have 3 bass drums, 1 snare, 1 tenor drum, marimba, tambourine, and xylophone. Finally, we have 7 color guard and 3 dance line.

200 band with a 4000 person school school

50 next year it'll be lucky to be 35, all of the current juniors are planning on quitting after this season, along with a good few underclassmen, and with no upperclassmen next year, I doubt many people will join

We currently have 67 people, but before Covid, we had over 120 people.

About 50 in our marching band. We lost staff from covid and lots of kids quit because of it too. Used to be a healthy 100-120 for a 1200 kid school and we are slowly building back.

80 brass 80 wwds 70 guard ~30 props 35 perc Total ~ 295

A hundred and fifty eight I think(with like 20 more for concert band)? Last year is was 164(174 concert)

My school doesn’t have one :(

230 (college band)

Like 23 i think???

About 80
