Re: Alumni Band Society Opportunities!
Will you be here for this?
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Will be there on the 17th. Anyone know how many ended up registering, and if the alumni will be playing anything on their own?

It was couple dozen. This weekend is a busy competition weekend in Ohio so I'm told. That caused the turnout to be relatively light. We will have student ringers to fill out the voicing.jlozer8 wrote:Will be there on the 17th. Anyone know how many ended up registering, and if the alumni will be playing anything on their own?
I'll be there and yes, I'm practicing.
