Good for you, Paige. I'm glad to see that someone is finally taking control of the immature madness that takes place on here. When I created this message board like 3 years ago it's whole intent was communication between current and former members, as well as the band boosters, the director, and anyone else who had questions/comments. It was NEVER intended for people to bash one another and then not even sign their real name.

What is up with the other website that is "debuting" in August? Why do there have to be 2? Why can't that person work in conjunction with this website? Creating a second one is surely going to cause problems. Why 2 when you already have one... Makes no sense to me. But anyway, I'm just an alumni.

It was nice seeing everyone at Mouton's retirement party in Abita. I'm glad a lot of people showed up.

If anyone is ever in Baton Rouge (starting in August), give me a call. My door is always open if you need a place to stay! If you don't have my number, e-mail me.

And Paige, the best of luck to you. And good luck to the new drummajors and section leaders for the fall. Hope all goes well and hope to see everyone, too! Alumni Band Night, right?? :)

Sincerely,
Rachel
