Dr. Michael Nickens, an associate professor of music in 亚洲AV鈥檚 Reva and Sid Dewberry Family School of Music, tells Mason President Gregory Washington how he transforms from his mild-mannered persona into Doc Nix, the flamboyant leader of the Green Machine, the nation鈥檚 No. 1 pep band. The band doesn't play mechanically, Nix says. There are times its members are collectively 鈥渆xploring the universe in that moment. And those are the moments that feel like we have really accomplished something.鈥 Actor Bill Murray is a fan of the band, and Nix is pretty good on the tuba.
