Alumni Athletic Band - 1st Round CCHA Playoffs?

[87JR]

I'm posting this in both the Hockey and Band forums. Let me know if you are interested in playing ([email protected])...

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

For the first time in ten years, the Falcon Icers will have home ice for the first round of the CCHA Playoffs. This best two-out-of-three game series against Alaska-Fairbanks is this coming weekend at the Ice Arena, with game times the usual 7:05 p.m. But with spring break, the Men's Chorus tour, and the MAC basketball tournament in Cleveland [both men's and women's] all happening at the same time, there just aren't enough musicians/faculty to go around.

If we can get a director, the correct instrumentation [we need at least one percussionist], and a large enough response, we alums will play for as many games as possible this coming weekend. We might be able to get a few students to help supplement our numbers, but the bulk of the musicians are going to have to be alums.

Please let me know by tomorrow [Monday] evening if you can help. Include your instrument and the date(s) you are available: Friday 03/11, Saturday 03/12, and/or Sunday 03/13 [the third game is played only if necessary]. We will meet in the NW corner stands of the Ice Arena around 6 p.m. each night.

I apologize for the short notice, but this is a great opportunity to help support the hockey program.

Please share this e-mail with your friends and other alums who you think would be interested.

Thanks - I look forward to hearing from you. We will be making a decision as to whether or not we'll be able to make this happen by the middle of the week [no later than Wednesday evening].

As I said in another thread, those of us in the dorms can't get back in till Sunday. So if the Sunday game turns out to be necessary, I'll be there if I can!

Perhaps there will be someone in the area willing to house for a day or two...

I'm game for Saturday, and if the game is needed, Sunday as well. I'd play friday, but I have a previous engagment that evening. I'm sorry I havn't been able to respond earlier but I've been out on tour with Gamelon and this is the first I've been able to get to a computer.
