Tech Bands Recruit Prowess Spurs Strong West Texas Appeal
Killion and his eight specialists guide the Red Raider band recruiting in West Texas amid lack of binding letters of intent. They rely on observation and director trust, crediting high school directors and the group’s performance in the Gator Bowl for attracting top musicians while noting some talents still slip away. The Tech ensemble totals 260 players across nine bands, with members often serving in multiple groups.
