Hello Jolly Bandos!
     It is time for Christmas and also for thinking about winter (aka...Winter Flurry!!) For those of you who have never heard of this, Winter Flurry is an annual extravaganza of a whole week devoted to competitive, yet fun events that organizations around campus compete in.
     This means that the band can win money and you can help us bring in the buck and win first, proving we are the superior organization at Marquette. Show us your creativity and stamina by signing up for these events. These events span the first week of school after we get back from break, so put on your creative bando hats early!
     Drop me an e-mail if you are interested, have any ideas, or haven't already signed up so we can plan accordingly. Also, there will be a sign-up sheet in the VT for those who like to love to hang out there.
     Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have included a schedule
of the events below.

Here are the break games. If you can make it, go for it, if not, don’t worry. They will not count towards attendance. Also, if you need somewhere to stay, you’re more than welcome to stay at my place. If there are any questions, feel free to call me, 244-0118.

LIBRARIAN-ISH INFO
Hey Band!
     Just a note from your librarians, I just thought I'd let you all know what to do with your pep band folders since the semester is winding down. So here's the deal:
     If you are going to be in band next semester and plan on doing pep band you can keep your folder. If you are graduating, co-oping, studying abroad, or just don't plan on being in band next semester, than some time this week or next week please return your folder. If you plan on playing at the games this week and next weekend then turn them in after that. And, no, you cannot keep your folder for posterity's sake if you are graduating. So please turn these in if it applies to you because there will be people that will need to use them next semester.

Thanks!
Kristina
