Band to March in Inaugural Parade
UNC's marching band, which
will represent the state, has
earned much of its national
exposure at athletic events.
By Stacey Geyer
Staff Writer
A surprise phone call two weeks ago
has set off a flurry of activity as the
UNC marching band prepares to par
ticipate in the presidential inauguration.
The Marching Tar Heels received an
invitation from the presidential inaugu
ration committee to join the 36 public
bands performing in the Jan. 20 inau
gural parade in Washington, D.C.
“I was obviously delighted and hon
ored that we were chosen,” said Jeffrey
Fuchs, director of the Marching Tar
Heels, about the invitation to serve as
the sole representative from North
Carolina.
Fuchs said the hard work of the 305
band members and a positive image as
a first-class organization helped in the
band’s selection.
“I encourage students all the time to
be mindful of the image they present to
the public because it might come back
in positive ways like this," he said.
Fuchs also said the band’s participa
tion in athletic events gives it nation
wide attention.
“Primarily, the exposure that the
band gets is related to athletics, espe
cially football and basketball,” Fuchs
said.
And the Marching Tar Heels are not
strangers to performing on a national
level.
Chapel Hill magistrate Tuesday after
noon, but police did not release infor

Carrboro police are advising both
male and female residents to be cautious
and aware of their surroundings, report

The Marching Tar Heels have been chosen to perform in the
inauguration parade for President-elect George W. Bush on Jan. 20.
Fuchs said the band has attended
three Final Fours in the past four years
and marched in the famous Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1993.
This experience has been crucial dur
ing the recent planning process that
Fuchs describes as a “major logistical
nightmare.”
“It has been and will continue to be
an amazing two weeks,” he said. “It’s
only 10 days away.”
The band’s members received notice
of their upcoming plans through an e
mail Fuchs sent during Winter Break.
While excitement for the event has
increased, physical preparation for the
parade did not begin until the first prac
tice, held Tuesday night.

N.C. Schools
Earn Praise
Of Blacks
UNC-system representatives
attribute minority students'
success to open, tolerant
university atmospheres.
Staff Report
A recent ranking by Black
Enterprise magazine placed five of the ,
state’s universities, including three
UNC-system schools, in the top 50 best
colleges and universities for black stu
dents.
N.C. Agricultural & Technical
University placed ninth, the highest
among N.C. universities.
Johnson C. Smith University in
Charlotte, UNC-Chapel, and Duke
University bunched together at 18th,
19th and 20th, respectively; N.C.
Central University followed at 31st
The top nine schools in the ranking
are all historically black colleges and
universities.
The top non-HBCU on the list was
lOth-ranked Stanford University, which
has only a 5 percent black population.
The ranking were compiled from
survey responses of 506 African-
American professionals employed by
the 987 universities studied, including
college presidents, faculty members
and admissions administrators.
The actual rating was calculated
based on the average academic rating
from the survey, the average social rat
ing, the percentage of black undergrad
uates, the percentage of black under
graduates at the university and the per
centage of black graduates.
The HBCU’s scores were adjusted to
compensate for their high percentages
of black students.
J.B. Milliken, UNC-system vice pres
ident for public affairs, said the place

During that practice, the band
received the music they will perform.
“We’re also going to have a couple
practices for marching,” said Bobby
Rathdone, a senior drum major.
“We will use more of a military
march than a fun-and-games type of
march used for sporting events.”
Fuchs and members of the band
expressed confidence that they will be
prepared for the parade.
Rathdone said, “It’s an incredible
privilege to go to Washington and
march in front of the president and
show him what we can do.”
