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:
“There is still the feeling that women’s writing is a lesser class of writing, that ... what goes on in the nursery or the bedroom is not as important as what goes on in the battlefield, ... that what women know about is a less category of knowledge.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
“No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“A poet is no rattlebrain, saying what comes uppermost, and, because he says every thing, saying, at last, something good; but a heart in unison with his time and country. There is nothing whimsical or fantastic in his production, but sweet and sad earnest, freighted with the weightiest convictions, and pointed with the most determined aim which any man or class knows of in his times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
