Hi, Gang!
Just a few quick notes for you:
A donor has come forward to assist with the expenses for the first game on Aug 30. I have modified the band calendar with the schedule as it stands right now.
Due to the short preparation time available for the first game, we are compressing check-in this year, in order to have the full band in by Mon, Aug 27.
Our halftime will consist of us, mass dancers (ala bowl game), Regal Blues, and a 40’ diameter, circular flag of the Tech Logo to be revealed as part of the show. The Aggie Band is coming and will perform. Their director tells me that they are leaving their freshman behind this time and will only be bringing around 270 upperclassmen.
The rest of the year is still in the planning stages in conjunction with the athletic department and their various promotions.
