Angelique article on MMB this season

Submitted by Broken Brilliance on June 16th, 2020 at 8:37 PM

Looks like the band director and the MMB are planning adjustments for social distancing measures as well as performing for potentially smaller crowds at the home games this season. There is also speculation that the band might not travel for the next few years due to new  budget constraints.

New mom Rob F- Sorry if this thread results in people not playing nice. I just love the band and thought some might enjoy the news.

I had not thought about the band. I hope everyone gets to play on game day.

Which do you suppose projects Covid further?  The Tuba, Trombone, or Trumpet?

God I hope people start playing nice around here. This blog used to be so much fun but it’s turned into a dark place. We all just need to commit to not falling for the political traps.

Totally agree DTW, I also sure hope we all commit to not falling for political traps...people have to know that Fox, OAN, Newsmax, Limbaugh, Levin, Breitbart, InfoWars, etc. are political propaganda outlets for the current occupant of the White House and poisonous to reasonable dialogue. Kudos to you, sir.

I would have to add MSNBS, CNN, Mother Jones, Mediate to your list of propaganda outlets poisonous to reasonable dialogue.  All of these outlets (on both sides of the issue) are cherry picking and highly contextualizing their output.  And it is getting damn near impossible to get source data without a great deal of effort.  It is de-moralizing to me as most of us still have the trivia of making a living to get in the way of being full time researchers
