WVU and Marshall Exhibition Shows
Every year the Daily Mail Kanawha County Majorette and Band Festival has an exhibition show following the final high school performance before the awards ceremony. On the odd numbered years West Virginia University's marching band, "The Pride of West Virginia," does one of their exhibition shows and on the even numbered years Marshall University's marching band, "The Marching Thunder," does one of their exhibition shows.
WVU's marching band began performing for the festival in 2003. Marshall University's marching band began performing for the festival in 2004. The festival acts as a great recruitment opportunity for both bands.

Famous quotes containing the words marshall, exhibition and/or shows:
“Let us not succumb to nature. We will marshall the clouds and restrain tempests; we will bottle up pestilent exhalations; we will probe for earthquakes, grub them up, and give vent to the dangerous gas; we will disembowel the volcano, and extract its poison, take its seed out. We will wash water, and warm fire, and cool ice, and underprop the earth. We will teach birds to fly, and fishes to swim, and ruminants to chew the cud. It is time we looked into these things.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The hardiest skeptic who has seen a horse broken, a pointer trained, or has visited a menagerie or the exhibition of the Industrious Fleas, will not deny the validity of education. “A boy,” says Plato, “is the most vicious of all beasts;” and in the same spirit the old English poet Gascoigne says, “A boy is better unborn than untaught.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To love something as an artist ... means to be shaken not by its ultimate value or lack of value, but by a side of it that suddenly opens up. Where art has value it shows things that few have seen. It’s conquering, not pacifying.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
