How it began
"These concerts started as an impromptu performance on the last day of Band Camp in 2009,鈥� said Bryan K. Ransom, Director of Athletic bands.
After noticing the impromptu performance attracted a crowd, the preview concert was born.
鈥淲e were rehearsing in Smith Recital Hall, and the air conditioning was out. I decided on a whim to bring the band and color guard out to what was a very quiet center of campus," Ransom said.
"We set up some concert arcs and starting playing through some tunes. Soon we had quite a crowd watching and listening. I decided then that this should be a recurring event."
