The soft hum of wind instruments carries through Loeb Hall. Photos of Marching Mizzou decorate its winding hallways, transforming dull walls into slabs of memories. The marching band intertwines with football Saturdays, and this is a place where its members are celebrated.
Some pictures show members marching on Faurot Field; some show them posing by the Columns on Francis Quadrangle. There are hundreds of people from decades' worth of bands, each musician an embodiment of school spirit and pride.
Almost every face is white.
The 2017 group photo hangs in Room 202. Jasmine Pool stands in the front row with the band's leadership team, the Columns loom overhead.
