Well...

Where are the refs from?

Great!!!!

Wow!

Good catch.

Well, that was not was I was hoping for.

Fun fact: 20% of AAC teams use Owls as a nickname.

Hmmm...ECU has had a time of it; four chancellors in three years.

Is this an official video? If so, nice choice of lyrics.

Born and raised in Norfolk, Va. Circa 1970, my high school band and orchestra director had once been the band director of Roy Miller HS in Corpus Christi. He told me about North Texas and suggested I apply there, and so I did. I will immodestly say I was accepted to the top East Coast music schools but as North Texas offered me a full ride, it was a no-brainer. For reasons I'll not go into here, the school was, and remains, a very special place to me.

Rest assured, North Texas is among the very best music schools in the country. Who is "best" needs to be answered by the question, what do you want to study? For example, Juilliard puts more people in orchestras than any other school. Rice does very well with this, also. In jazz and popular music, North Texas and Berkeley in Boston lead the way. I would venture we have won as many Grammys as anyone. The great strength of North Texas is that we are strong across the board; classical, jazz, keyboard, composition, whatever. There is not a weak program here. With the exception of Indiana University, I do not know of another school like ours. Our students win prestigious international competitions on a regular basis and come from all over the world to study here. There are CoM YouTube videos with over 1M views. The other great advantage of North Texas is its cost. Here, no one can come close. I know of many, many youngsters in NYC that are graduates of Juilliard, New England Conservatory, and the like that have over 100,000 in student debt. They are hard-pressed to make 20,000 a year. As for the rankings themselves, here they are: https://www.unt.edu/rankings/college-music.html Personally, I wish they would go away. There is no objective data used in these and most are nonsense. If anyone thinks UT at Austin is the top music school in Texas, as rated by "Best Music Colleges.com", then I have a bag of turnips I would like to sell you.

Excellent news, and congratulations to him!! Thanks for letting us know.

He is the director of bands at the University of Melbourne...down under! BTW, he got all of his degrees at North Texas.

We have a new Green Brigade director, Amy Woody, who has just finished her DMA coursework at UNT. She looks to have fine credentials including a Master's from Eastman, one of the nation's leading music schools and was previously the director at Denton Guyer before entering UNT. Welcome, Ms. Woody! https://greenbrigade.music.unt.edu/green-brigade-director-announcement?fbclid=IwAR1ec3iSm-rS9X2aB6fjG9IC8JWrKFJ_q5pW5c4JvmPvA_RJP0teUudDT4Q

Don't we have different versions of the white jerseys? I seem to recall several variations. I agree this is a losing battle. Every photo I've seen of our new coach and staff shows them dressed in black.
