CLEMSON–The professor of percussion in Clemson University’s music department has published a book called “Marching Bands and Drumlines: Secrets of Success from the Best of the Best”, and which features Western Carolina University’s Pride of the Mountains marching band.

Author Paul Buyer is a lifelong sports fan, who developed the idea for his book from another that took in-depth looks at college football programs.

The book, published by Meredith Music Publications, also takes a look at the following bands: Louisiana State University’s Tiger Marching Band, the University of Alabama’s Million Dollar Band and Michigan State University’s Spartan Marching Band. It also looks at “The Best Damn Band in the Land” at Ohio State University, the Green Brigade Marching Band at the University of North Texas and “The Pride of Arizona Marching Band” at the University of Arizona.
