MARK YOUR CALENDAR => SAT., MARCH 12th HOCKEY GAME

Based on the responses received, I'm pleased to report we will be playing for the game on Sat., March 12th.

Please be in the stands in the NW corner of the Ice Arena by 6 p.m. this Saturday. Doors to the general public open at that same time, but you should be able to enter before that if you want to set up/warm up. You can use the entrance by the new addition on the NW side of the Arena. Game time is 7:05 p.m. Please wear an orange or white top [any BGSU clothing is fine] and khakis. Brian Myers '97 & '02 will be directing us. Ticket information for family/friends can be obtained toll-free at 1-877-BGSUTICKET or at www.bgsufalcons.com. The section the band utilizes is general admission, so family/friends should be able to sit near you.

Please help spread the word. If you're a current student and know of fellow band members who will be returning from spring break early, bring them along! If you're an alum, bring along a friend! It would be great to have a large band for this important game.

Thank you for supporting the Falcon Icers and the band program.

GO FALCONS!

Hey Jeff,

Not to bust your bubble or anything but I hope everyone who contacted you will show up on Saturday. Saturday is also the finals of the MAC Championship game, at the same time, 7pm. If BG makes it to the Championship game I am afraid many people may stay and watch the game on TV or head to Cleveland. I hope I am wrong, but I once tried to do something similar to what you are doing and then at the last moment people bailed on me. Good luck and I wish I could be there to hear the stellar performance but I will be at the Gund in Cleveland rooting on the BG mens team.

Not to burst the basketball fans' bubble but that's a pretty big "IF". Go watch hockey!!

Well, it isn't a band for all three games, but it is better than nothing. I want to publically thank Jeff Rader for all of his work in putting this together. Also, if any of you know how to get ahold of the band in cleveland now at the MAC tournament please let them know that the band is playing. some of them may be able to make it back from Cleveland. I for one will be inquiring as to why this was allowed to slip though the cracks and we had to scramble. Lets smack the bears.

Looking forward to hearing the band play this weekend. Lets hope Dan Dakich is not in attendance. He kind of shot down the band earlier this week in his press conference.

Go Falcons Icers!!!!!

In case you played in the band and I didn't have your e-mail address...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXTRA EFFORTS ON SATURDAY

Thank you for supporting the Falcon Icers in their 1st Round CCHA Tournament game last night, Saturday, March 12th. Having a band in attendance added greatly to the atmosphere of the game - you sounded great! I received many positive comments from alums and members of the Athletic Department about our performance.

Special thanks to Dr. Carol Hayward and Ryan Nowlin '00 & '04 for all of their help [including hand-delivering the music to the Ice Arena as they returned from the MAC Women's Tournament Championship game in Cleveland -- congratulations to Coach Curt Miller and the women's basketball team for winning the tournament for the first time since 1994], Brian Myers '97 & '02 for directing us and for providing instruments and additional musicians, Matt Lyons for helping spearhead this effort, several current BGSU students [some of whom had just played in Cleveland but were still willing to join us for one more game], and Joe Foley in the Athletic Department for all his assistance.

While this was a little more of a "rush" project than usual, many alums and current students really stepped up in a very short period of time so a band could be put together. Thanks again.

GO FALCONS!
