USC Trojans
Purdue (they have the biggest bass drum)
Notre Dame

You will love it or hate it. It is definitely different than H.S. Usually an hour a day, and playing at home games. Some times you travel with the team. If you are at a major school that goes to a bowl game you will most likely go. Some schools give you PE credit for Marching Band.

UMass-Amherst is the best I have seen and heard in years. The leadership is solid and with almost 400 marchers on the field it is hard to believe the sound and the movement of so many. I went to school at Iowa and have seen many big ten bands. UMass is the most impressive.
