on a new design. The old uniforms were so old, they looked worn and out of style, says freshman Dante Cannon. We needed something fresh that would impress our audience and stand out from the field. Style was not the only factor taken into consideration with the new design. Finding a comfortable fabric material was also a main priority. The old uniforms, created in 1998, were made from heavy wool, which retained moisture and heat. During early season games, band members became uncomfortable and over-heated. The new unform design keeps students comfort in mind by using a synthetic wool blend that is water and heat resistant. (Continued on page 2)

now lighter, more comfortable, and look modern! freshman bioengineering major James Martinson says. Stanbury Uniforms arrived on campus to measure each band member for his or her custom fitted uniform. Production for
all 428 uniforms took nearly six months to complete. This has been an ongoing process for the past four years, says junior English major Andrew Cahoon. It is unreal that we finally have our uniforms. I cant wait to wear them next season!
The most fulfilling feeling for me is to see people enthusiastically come together to make this music happen. - Ethan Rossberg
To gain new members, Sparks and Rossberg recruited fellow musicians from the Gamers Symphony Orchestra and Mighty Sound of Maryland, and posted on Facebook. Currently, the ensemble has 26 members, and rehearses every Sunday from 2 to 4 pm at Stamp as a Stamp Free Event.
Our ensemble is unique in the fact that we are the only orchestra solely dedicated to the performance of film soundtracks. Additionally, we are entirely student run. We arrange our own music, and lead our own rehearsals, says Rossberg. The Film Symphony Orchestra will hold a concert at the end of each semester to showcase members work, and to recruit new members. The most fulfilling feeling for me is to see people enthusiastically come together to make this music happen. I love performing amazing, beautiful music with others who also share this passion, says Sparks. For more information, or inquires about joining the Film Symphony Orchestra email ehr891@gmail.com.
