Here's mine from last year, about 125 total 2 piccs 8 flutes 10 clarinets 8 altos 3 tenors 3 baris 15 trumpets 10 mellos 8 trombones 6 b-tones 6 sousas 5 snares 3 tenors 5 basses about 8 pit members and who knows how many guard, about 20 and 2 drum majors.
Next year, we're getting (for sure) three freshman b-tones, possibly four or five, at least five trumpets, one trombone, one (maybe) sousa, and about 20 total woodwinds. If no one drops out, we'll be about 140-150. Which is amazing, since that will mean we'll be the biggest band in the county, and we've only been around for four years.

Our school is an IB magnet school, and so many students apply from all over the county. Apparently, if everyone who wants to come gets in, our band numbers will be topping 270 next year Not all of them will get in though, less than 1/3 usually do.

This year, we had around 300-ish, including guard (I think) and a 40-person flute section. I <3 my section. ;D But next year, it's down to about 235 (or so Mr. O says) 'cause we've got a big senior class (not as big as class of '07, though ... I heard they were 1000 strong) and not many freshmen coming in.

Ours is at least 200... But we lost a big senior class last year... 11 clarinets! We currently have 16 clarinets, 3 pics, 30??? flutes (too many at any rate) 3 oboes ( they don't march oboe) armies of saxes, 6 or 7 bassoons, 5 bass clarinets, 1 alto clarinet (I am SO special) some 20 forns, some 40 trumpets, some 15 tubas, too many trombones, 10 or less baritones, lots of percussion, one string bass, a really crappy guard... no clue numberwise and no harps. Not that the harp thing is a problem... a synthesizer on harp setting works as well. But we are only marching 135 or so next yr. bcoz Gorton wants to make sure only people who CARE get to be in the show. ifrostyflute, did you go to CRJH? (In other words, ifrostyflute, do I know you?)

ifrostyflute, did you go to CRJH? (In other words, ifrostyflute, do I know you?) If you remember a short midget flute in Symphonic, that's probably me. I'm pretty sure I know who you're not. And if I'm wrong, you can sue.
