No band in attendance tonight. Very disappointing! It is disapointing to say the very least. I'm no music major but, there was a Wind Ensemble and Symphony Band concert that night. If there was a day to rescheduel it to I'm almost positive we would have moved that concert around. A good chunk of the band are majors and thus had to attend. I doubt more then 7 or 10 could have gone if we did try with a skeleton crew. With a small band like that it's just not going to sound good. I don't like it one bit either. And on the note of disintrest, yeah that's 100% true. not much of a winning team, band doesn't ever travel, Pay could be bettter, and its not fun trying to be excited when no one else is.

Jimmy had the right ideas to fix this years ago: 1. Give the musicians course credits to serve in the pep band, giving better incentive than the pittance stipend they get now, and also getting musicians who want to be there. 2. Encourage alumni to participate in the pep band when the current students have other obligations, like Madison does. During winter break, the band at the Kohl Center is all old timers, and the times I've been there to watch us play the Badgers they sounded great!
