Talk:Marching Chiefs

World Renowned
I've heard the story before, but don't know enough to write about it. Something about being invited to Saudi Arabia to play and ever since been introduced as the "World Renowned Marching Chiefs." Kushboy 00:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

That trip is a cool part of Chiefs history. According to:

http://www.marchingchiefs.fsu.edu/history-international.html

"The year 1974 made the Marching Chiefs international. The Marching Chiefs were guest of the United States Department of State to perform at the International Trade Fair in Damascus, Syria. While in the Middle East, Chiefs traveled to Amman, Jordan for a command performance for King Hussein."

I wish it had been ten years later during my time in the band! TomTime0000 (talk) 18:23, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Much Chiefs History Was Deleted
This version of the page from October 2009:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marching_Chiefs&oldid=323102575 sure had a lot of wonderful Chiefs history that is now deleted. Anyone like to add it back? TomTime0000 (talk) 21:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

-I'm slightly bothered by the fact that this history is basically taken word-for-word from the Marching Chiefs website. While I don't believe the website claims copyright it does seem a little disingenuous. I might try and rewrite the history to be less copied when I have some free time.Ayzmo (talk) 02:43, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

"Marching Chiefs" Article Title?
I think that the title of this article should be changed to a more specific "FSU Marching Chiefs" or "Florida State University Marching Chiefs," as there are other bands using the name, including a college in Wisconsin and a high school in Florida. Anyone else agree? TomTime0000 (talk) 21:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

That's probably a good idea. I know when I search, I usually look for "FSU Marching Chiefs." Just makes more sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.201.120.50 (talk) 17:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Drum Majors
Removal of non-notable information. The table listing the complete history of the drum majors was removed in compliance with WP:INDISCRIMINATE--specifically the "who's who" section. Cmcginni (talk) 04:27, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

History Section Rewrite.
I'm currently working on a rewrite of the history section and it can be found here. Feel free to make comments on the talk page for it. Also, it is quite difficult to find sourcing for much of the stuff in there since it was originally directly from the Chiefs website. Any help with sourcing would be awesome.

RfC: Are the "Sections" and table in the drum major section acceptable?
Is the table in the drum majors section needed and is the sections section acceptable unsourced? Ayzmo (talk) 14:23, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah I honestly think it's perfect. I saw it being removed the other and I looked all over the internet to see if there were any sources but I couldn't find anything. I hoping to email someone over there at Marching Chiefs soon to see if they would release official info. I think it should stay but that's my personal opinion. It's not hurting the integrity of the article.--SeminoleNation (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Considering the table and the Sections section are both unsourced, I'd suggest we remove both until we can find reliable sources to verify. Meatsgains (talk) 02:59, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
