I'm used to the Duke only basketball fans, they're usually Notre Dame or some other brand football fans aka we need to root for only winning teams.

I accumulated a lot of CU shirts just from going to basketball games during my time at CU. I doubt they're still giving them away like they used did back then.
This fierce loyalty to the tuba cheer is commendable. This dedication by you locals is making me proud to claim an association with your team.

:stupid: This. Also a pet peeve of mine.
I remember a Missouri fan making fun of that cheer within earshot to me and Delpizzo a few years ago. I turned around and said, "at least we can spell our state's name."
He countered by saying that people were a bit lazy in Mizzou.
I laughed.

The Tuba Cheer rocks!
I'm pretty sure I saw him twice. yes, he's impressive.
Once was with Mrs. H (maybe UCSB? could've been Wyoming) and he was doing backflips in addition to the rest of the cheer duties. I remember because Mrs. H is a people watcher, and enjoys watching interactions. Apparently she was focused on him (I don't get jealous, rather assume it gives me permission to look), and at some point during the game she remarked "I'm pretty sure he gets laid a lot".
The other time he set a record for flips during half time, something absurd, can't remember the number. Those are the only two times though that I remember -- and I do tend to pay attention to the cheer and dance teams. :wow:
I knew a guy at Tech on the cheerleading team, we took statistics together over the summer, math education major. Anyone who makes fun of male cheerleaders should reconsider that position. This guy was telling me about it: he was on 1/2 scholarship; went to all the football games (home, away, bowl), all the home men's basketball games, conference tournaments (no post season for VT -- back then we didn't consistently make the Big East tourney); and he hung out with the cheerleaders. Other than not seeing all the games, it was hard to find a negative. I remember after the final, one dude was planning a small get together and asked the male cheerleader, who responded "well, the cheerleaders have this thing going on...". I remember going, "and you want to do that instead of hanging with the math club?"

To the bolded - seriously? I wasn't a big fan of the dude, but the band was starting to click a bit more at the end of the year. And now we get to go through another transition? Good God.
Hopefully the new hire will at least return to Dana's belief that "more is better". FILL THE DAMN BAND.

Did we lose him before or after Bohn was fired?
They offered him another 20k and the head director position of their music department.
He is a finalist for the job on a permanent basis, however his interview with the students of the music school apparently was not nearly as good as the other candidates.
When it comes to band director, the most important thing is for the person to understand that leading the fun and playing as loud as possible is much more important than technical proficiency. A football or basketball game isn't a recital, it's a party. There is also a legacy thing with the band, so involvement from alums should be encouraged as much as possible. Going back to my first point, it doesn't matter if an alum is a bit rusty on an instrument and the music list... get his lips on a ****ing tuba if you've got a seat to fill and a ban alum who is willing.
