Maybe I am a hopeless optimist….

But if the director of SUMB was on board, I would be happy to lead a drive to raise money for a SUMB road trip.  Or new instruments.  Or new uniforms.  Or whatever it is that they need the most.

I think a simple post on this board directing people to a noble cause that helps SU students is going to get attention and yes, money too.  I believe there are a lot of good hearted people out there that love SUMB and would like to help it If it is in need.

Now I could be completely wrong on this.  Maybe the kids in SUMB don’t have interest in going on a road trip.  And I wouldn’t do anything unless the director of SUMB is on board and agrees with whatever the goal is we end up raising funds for.  But I think it would be great to give something like this a try..

Could we raise $1 million dollars?  No, probably not.  But I bet we could raise $10K.  That might not cover all the costs of a road trip to Pittsburgh or Boston or East Hartford but it should make a major dent in the bill.  I think if we could just get the ball rolling on doing one road trip, it might grow into an annual thing.

We all want a big time football program that wins a lot of games.  But I think a lot of us also want a first class marching band we all can be proud of, even sometimes when we follow the team to a nearby road game.

SUMB people, if you are interested, send me a PM on this board.
