Arizona State University Sun Devil Marching Band - Friday Night Mill Band

Friday Night Mill Band

Tradition started in the 2009 Fall Semester of going onto Mill Avenue and playing songs for Mill Avenue patrons the Friday night before a home football game. These members walk up and down the street as a group stopping on major corners for 5–10 minutes playing stand tunes or Show excerpts from the next days game. A few businesses along the street allow this pep band to come in and play a few songs for patrons, or even the workers themselves. Often dressed in gold these members are not 'officially' with the Marching Band or University for liability purposes and is completely student run.

Famous quotes containing the words friday, night, mill and/or band:

    “This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “One night betimes he went to rest, for he had caught a fever.
    Says he, ‘I am a handsome man, but I’m a gay deceiver.’”
    —George Colman (1762–1836)

    “Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat- flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “Firm, united, let us be,
    Rallying round our Liberty;
    As a band of brothers joined,
    Peace and safety we shall find.”
    —Joseph Hopkinson (1770–1842)
