Pep Band to Minnesota

[Lauren '06]

Just going through paypal donations, pledges in my email, and pledges in my private messages on eLF... we've raised over $3100.  Wow.  That's not even counting pledges in this thread and people who donated to the alumni site without announcing themselves.  THANK YOU again to everybody who donated--and I'll be going through all my mail to respond to each in kind as soon as I finish writing this--and special thanks to everyone who went out of their way to rally other people to the cause.

I'll also be hitting up the Office of the Assemblies for emergency reimbursements... when they re-open on Monday.

The rink staff are putting us at the top of section 2 with all the rest of the Cornell group... good for solidarity, but I apologize in advance if we wound you trying to play our hearts out in Mariucci.  At least you won't have to crane your neck to try to see the game over the tuba. :-D

Thanks again, and we'll see you in Minnesota!  LGR!

ok everybody - drink your herbal tea and give up speaking on friday so our 300 can sound like 1000

That's great to hear.  I have been to a couple of away games when the band was not there, and it is just not the same.  I am totally psyched that you guys are going and will be looking forward to seeing and hearing you on TV.
                                           LET'S GO REEEEEDDDDD!!!

Bump....

At least we didn't have to ask my old high school band to be the Big Red Pep Band this weekend. Mercyhurst is using the Shrewsbury HS band as their pep band. Good for the high schoolers, shame on Mercyhurst for not having a pep band... ::uhoh::

Dude, look up Mercyhurst and their athletic program...not exactly a Minnesota....or a Cornell...or a Colgate!  It's helping them put up a fight apparently so good for them!

Good call, on second thought, at least they went out of their way to find a band. Some "bastions" of college hockey excellence (Denver, CC) do not have, nor do they want a band. That is the true shame. Again, good for the high schoolers who were there and playing on the bigger stage. They really seemed to help the team, and definitely made for a good side story.

Mercyhurst and mercenary starts and ends the same way.

At least Mercyhurst had the smarts to find somebody to play the music.

Please update us on the amount received plus the amount pledged so we can close the gap.

FYI- Lauren and co. are already on the road, so you probably won't be getting an update from them for a while.  Talked to them during the third periods of yesterday's first games, and everything seemed to be going as planned (they had made it as far as...well...they didn't mention a town name, instead indicating they were somewhere around "that town something something josh herman something something hot tub something something ohio state trip."  uh...yeah).
