Two years ago WCU's Band Director Bob Buckner submitted a request to get the 216-member Marching Band on the field at the Georgia Dome. The Georgia Dome was not a new venue for the Marching Cats, they had performed there two times before. The new twist was Buckner wanted them on the field at the dome during half- time of an Atlanta Falcons football game. No WCU Marching Band had done that before. The other two appearances were for the annual Bands of America competition where numerous marching bands from around the country would perform in front of judges. The Georgia Dome's special events office rejected the initial proposal, sending Buckner a letter kindly rejecting his proposal. It was not until an assistant in the Atlanta Falcons' office of special events attended a Western Carolina football game in Cullowhee and saw the Marching Cats in action. Buckner received a call a few weeks later from the special events coordinator virtually begging them to perform in the 1997 season. "You pick the game," they told him. "We were not able to come last year because of time constraints," Buckner said. The Marching Cats were, however, able to fit it into their busy schedule this fall. But, to make the trip, they needed more money then their budget allowed. The Falcons had agreed to pay for the transportation of the 240 people it would take for the band to put on a full performance. Five charter buses were called into to do that. Bryson Trucking of Sylva donated the driver and truck needed to haul the band's equipment trailer to Atlanta. All that was left was money for the hotel rooms. Fundraising is one thing bands are adept at. They raised the money for that. Buckner then had to submit a request to the Chancellor's office for funds in addition to the bands annual allotment from the student fees. No problem. The band chose to perform their James Brown music package, which they have done during half-time of the WCU games at Whitmire Stadium. Buckner said the performance was a great recruiting tool for the university and the band. On Saturday night, the band performed in front of 9,000 high school band students and parents at a competition in the Atlanta suburbs and handed out over 1,000 pieces of literature. By the end of this year the band will have performed for close to 250,000 people around the country.
