The Term "North Carolina's Band of Distinction" was coined by Joe F. Phelps during his early years as the director of the Marching Mountaineers after receiving such positive press and reviews and growing the band from 80 to 220 in just a few years.

Traditions

  • Band Dismissal - At the end of every single rehearsal, game, etc. a sousaphone player plays an ascending lick and the band members respond with a loud "Oh!".
  • The Big A - During the Pregame show, the band forms a block 'A' on the field during a swing section of the show.

The Competition, founded in 1979, is organized by the Rho Tau Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, provides these bands a performance venue where they are critiqued by a panel of nationally recognized adjudicators and a chance to perform in a collegiate stadium. The top band of the day receives the Chancellors Cup which is sponsored and presented by the chancellor of Appalachian State University. The chancellor, Sheri Everts, refused to sponsor the cup beginning in 2015 and the cup was renamed to the Sinfonian’s Cup.

Controversy

University of Miami - Appalachian State Color Guard Allegations

On Saturday September 18, 2016 the Mountaineers football team hosted a Power 5 conference member for the first time with the University of Miami. In front of a record high crowd, it also marked the first time they hosted a top 25 opponent and the main ESPN network would broadcast an Appalachian State home game.[2] Local media outlets dubbed it "the biggest event ever to take place in Boone."[3]

Several hours after the game, Sophie Randleman alleged on a public social media post that members of the Marching Mountaineers color guard were "assaulted...groped, sworn at, taunted, and touched in ways that were definitely not asked for" when Miami's football team ran on to take the field for their pregame prayer.[4] No incidents were reported to police onsite and the allegations came approximately 11 hours after the events would have taken place.[5] Prior to kickoff, the Mountaineers Color Guard had positioned themselves into the visiting team's sideline in the direct path of where Miami's players and its staff were instructed to go.[6][7] Randleman widely publicized her post and accused Miami of other incidents without specifying where or when they occurred.[8] After learning of the allegations, Miami's athletic department opened a formal investigation.

In an interview with the Palm Beach Post two days later, Randleman failed to provide any witnesses to corroborate detail towards the allegations when provided a link to a video[9] where no members of the Marching Mountaineers could be seen falling to the turf.[10] She nor any other members of the Marching Mountaineers could provide descriptions, jersey numbers, or last names of any of the alleged Miami players. Three days after the incident, Randleman told CBS that they had not yet met with police,[11] despite video showing several police officers and emergency medical staff visible near the color guard during the pregame that would have been witnesses.[12] Boone police told local news High County Times that there were no issues surrounding the game.[3] Six videos of Miami's entrance shot by fans, ESPN, and press media showed no indication of Randleman's allegations.

Following Randleman's CBS interview, Miami's Athletic Director announced that they had found zero evidence[13] and were concluding their investigation after "a school review of multiple videos and social media posts and interviews with possible witnesses revealed no evidence of wrongdoing by (Miami) players."[6][14] Appalachian State subsequently closed their investigation as well after it was unable to find any credible evidence backing up Randleman's claims.[15][16][17][18] Appalachian State's Associate Athletics Director Zeke Beam noted that "the University of Miami went above and beyond to review the incident."[19][20][21]
