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:
“The great disadvantage, and advantage, of the small urban bourgeois is his limited outlook. He sees the world as a middle- class world, and everything outside these limits is either laughable or slightly wicked.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
