Class
The Marching Hundred is not a paid organization and is offered as a 2 credit-hour class to both music and non-music majors. While 90% of the band is non-music majors, the other 10% is mostly music education majors fulfilling a degree requirement to participate in the Hundred for two years while only a few music majors elect to participate in the band on their own volition. The class consists of the rehearsal times, all performances, and other activities laid out at the beginning of the semester. The only instruments provided by the organization to members are mellophones, baritones, sousaphones, and percussion. All other members must provide their own instrument.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“We must not discriminate between things. Where things are concerned there are no class distinctions. We must pick out what is good for us where we can find it.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“In verity ... we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
