Verification[edit]

Some of this page's content has no references and doesn't seem to exist online. This segment about smaller bands is untrue according to the School of Music's official website:

Members from Marching Mizzou have also, especially in recent years, spun off to form smaller bands, under the auspices of the Department of Music. These bands (currently Mini Mizzou for men's basketball, 3-Point Play for women's basketball, and Point Mizzou for volleyball) generally support the school's most popular indoor sporting teams, and serve much more of a pep band function. While not specifically part of M2, these smaller groups still perform traditional Mizzou songs, but also add many more contemporary tunes, and make other allowances for the indoor setting (such as using a drum kit instead of a drum/cymbal line, and the addition of a bass guitar).

Much seems to have been copied from bigew25.wordpress.com/origins-of-marching-mizzou/. Note the introductory sentence says "Researching the origins of Marching Mizzou..." without citing the researched articles.

Also removing this part because of verifiability:

In the 1970s, the band became the first American university band to play shows in Great Britain, when they performed at pre-game and after football (soccer) matches at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea FC) and Wembley Stadium and at a rugby match at Twickenham Stadium.

Pregame section cleaned up[edit]

I removed some unsourced content from the Pregame section. It would be nice to re-add the removed content if sources can be found for the following: the playing of Banner, Rag, and Cheer (maybe look up Carl E. Bolte); the waltz and the waltz-step; the (now-removed) six columns formation; and something about the end sequence, forming a tunnel for the football team. --Nosaj544 (talk) 23:30, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Staff section[edit]

I've removed the Staff section in accordance with MOS:TRIVIA and MOS:LIST. Hopefully in the future, we can add a section about previous and current directors. But currently, most of the names that were in that list were not notable or couldn't be cited properly.--Nosaj544 (talk) 18:47, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
