Delazure is the official indoor winter guard of the University of Delaware Marching Band. The guard is open to all full-time University of Delaware students that are marching members of the University of Delaware Marching Band. Delazure competes in the Independent A-Class in TIA (Tournament Indoor Association), MAIN (Mid-Atlantic Indoor Network) and WGI (Winter Guard International). Delazure's home resides within the Roselle Center for the Arts on the University of Delaware campus. This $48 million dollar complex contains the Gore Recital Hall, Thompson Theater, and our home - the Puglisi Orchestra Hall. The hall was designed to be large enough for the entire 300+ member UD Marching Band to have an indoor music rehearsal on days of inclement weather. The floor itself is exactly that of a full-sized basketball court inclusive of the "out-of-bounds" perimeter. Puglisi Hall also has a concert seating capacity of approximately 300-350 and is the performance venue for all of the Department of Music's large ensemble concerts. In addition to the three performance venues there is a Studio Theater that is the exact same size as Thompson Theater. This allows the Theater Department to block two shows simultaneously. The CFA also houses all of the UD Marching Band's battery and front ensemble storage needs, as well as a locker room for all the brass and woodwind instruments. The second floor contains 32 practice rooms, 2 small ensemble rehearsal rooms, 2 double piano studios, an electronic lab and a room designated strictly for reed making. |
