I noted with interest your article in the Winter 2000 issue of UB Today about the return of UB s marching band after a 27-year absence. As a student from 1966-70, it is my recollection that in those days the band was called the Pride of the East, not Thunder of the East, which it now seems to be. That was the idea, to establish ourselves as one of the best bands in the East, and so we came up with the name. It was a very pleasant surprise. Our first stop was the new stadium on the North Campus.
