Comment:

Jack Anderson is one of the best members of the faculty at Pitt he does know about each member of the band and in the past ear there has been a real push to make the band into something to be noticed he does a great job especially considering pitt lacks a music department so everything is a volunteer basis and the people are great

Comment:

There have been good times in Pitt Band, but the band can be a cruel pack of hyenas when they want to be and I've never experienced the familial setting that people rave about. Many things the band does in the name of tradition are nothing more than hazing and Jack's policy is look the other way and pray for no lawsuits.

Jack R Anderson is the greatest. Pitt Band changed my life. I met so many people my freshman year and intend on keeping them for the rest of my life. He knew me by name by the first week of band camp. Hail to Pitt. Hail to the Basses 106.

Comment:

The Pitt Band regained its good reputation under Jack, but there is still room for improvement. The band is very parochial due to its focus on PGH and people from PGH. The university is changing and so should the band. As in any band positions come with a great deal of politics and drama. The band can change and still maintain its traditions.

Jack Anderson is the best! He's a really good guy to get to know in person. Band is like the best experience ever and he stoops down to the student level, to make band an awesome time, even though rehearsals can be very tough! Eveyrone needs to meet Jack!

Jack's a great guy. Always friendly and willing to help you out with anything. As someone already said, it's cool b/c he knows all the band kids' names, which is a lot! Basically a really cool guy.

Jack is so sweet! The Pitt Band really is like a family. He's very informal and personal, and he's there for you not only as an instructor but as a friend. He really loves the band and I have an even greater love of music now.
