the team apparently thought that the arena was dead when the dcwb was not at
the games. they attempted to remedy this by securing funky music to play over
the loudspeakers aft> er goals and during timeouts etc. the players liked it
and all was happy and wonderful. but then the dcwb showed up at the game a few
weeks ago. there was mild confusion over whether the band was to play and when
the funky music was to be piped in and> other technicalities. the coach
decided that he liked the continuity of having the same thing all the time. so
he either wanted the dcwb at all of the games or funky music at all of the
games. jen coleman tried to reason with the coach to understand t> hat the
dcwb has other obligations and is unable to make all of the games. but for him
it was all or none, and as a result the dcwb won't be seeing men's hockey
anymore.

> anyway, jen coleman was very upset about the coach's decision and apologized
profusely to me for about twenty minutes. she doesn't entirely understand the
decision and feels that the dcwb was given the shaft. my resonse was that the
band was there to su> pport the team and that if the team prefers that we not
show up, the band will respect that decision. i hope that you all agree with
that position! if not, please let me know. she also encourages me to get in
touch with the coach and dick yeager if the> band has complaints about the
situation. so please foreward any and all complaints to me and i'll see that
the appropriate figurehead receives them.

hockey games from which we were denied. we simply have to present the door
with a list of bandies half an hour before game time. we don't even have to
arrive together or sit t> ogether. so on friday maybe the band could go watch
the hockey game en masse??

and laura, let me know if you can accomodate the schedule changes. and anyone
