I know this is a little off topic, but it is related to Hockey at SCSU. Currently, our Sports Band is totally student run (except that I'm their faculty advisor, not director). It has been that way for about 5 or so years. The band members have not been paid for those 5 years. When the band was run thru the music department, the members were paid. Now, the music department wants to take control of the band again (because they realize that it is the group that gets the most exposure). But the band doesn't want it. The music dept. is trying to entice them by offering to pay the players again. So, now to my question. Does anyone know if their Sports Bands are paid to play? If so, could I find out how much per event? Or even better yet, could you get me in touch with the director(s) of the Sports Bands at your school? Please keep this to private email and not on the list. Thank you, and sorry for the off topic post. bill William Groskreutz III [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] http://www.stcloud.msus.edu/~wgrosk St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud MN Mathematics Department Faculty PROGRAM (pro'-gram) [n] A magic spell cast over a .----. . - . computer allowing it to turn one's input into error |C>_.|.:'.:. . messages.
