LET ME START BY SAYING THAT ALL OF THE SWAC BANDS MUST COME TOGETHER AND FIGHT THIS ISSUE. TSU IS A MEMBER OF THE Ohio Valley Conference.
THE RULES FOR THE SWAC DO NOT APPLY TO THEM AT ALL, YES WE NEED TO FIND A WAY A GET AROUND THE RULES.
I KNOW THAT THE OUR DIRECTORS DO READ THE INFORMATION FROM THIS SITE, SO WITH THAT SAID,
PLAN # 1.CAN THE BAND PLAY AND TURN THE VOLUME DOWN UNTIL THE SNAP OF THE BALL AND THEN TURN THE VOLUME UP. THAT IS WHAT TSU DID.

PLAN # 2 HAVE THE BAND PLAY IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION IN THE STANDS BUT AT HALF VOLUME.

PLAN # 3 . TURN THE BAND INTO A CHOIR AND SING THE SONG AND HAVE THE DRUMS PLAY ON THE RIMS TO KEEP TIME.

PLAN #4 -PROTEST THE SWAC OFFICE IN A ONE DAY EVENT. MOST SWAC BANDS WILL BE HERE IN B'HAM ON OCT 5, 2008 FOR THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS. BRING THE TV CREWS, ALL OF THEM LOCAL PLUS CNN,
ALL OF THE BANDS WOULD PLAY TOGETHER ONE SONG IN FRONT OF THE SWAC OFFICE. THEN THEY WOULD HEAD TO THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS. WE MUST DO SOMETHING.
THE NCAA RULING ON HALFTIME IS 10 MIN PER BAND. WHY DID THE SWAC GO TO EIGHT MIN?

IF WE STAND AS A FULL GROUP AND PRESENT OUR CASE THE SWAC THAT THE BANDS OF BLACK COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS JUST AS BIG THE FOOTBALL GAME ITSELF, I AM SURE THAT THEY WOULD LISTEN AND CHANGE THE RULES.

IF YOU DONT KNOW, THERE IS A $500.00 FINE TO THE BAND THAT BREAKS THE RULE, THE FIRST TIME AND NEXT TIME THE BAND WOULD HAVE TO SIT OUT ONE GAME, IF THE BANDS KEEPS BREAKING THE RULE THEY WILL HAVE TO SIT OUT THE WHOLE SEASON.

I SAY THAT WE STAND UP FOR THE BANDS AND HAVE THE SWAC OFFICE TO LISTEN TO WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.

PLEASE COPY THIS COMMENT AND PASS IT ON TO THE Alumni AND ALL OF THE OTHER SWAC BANDS, AND THEIR BAND DIRECTORS.

WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN LETS SHOOT FOR THE OCT 6, 2008 BATTLE OF THE BANDS TO SHOW THE SWAC , THAT WE CAN STAND AS ONE.
AND BY THE WAY THE MMW BAND SOUNDED GOOD AND LOOKED GOOD ON THIS PAST SAT.

AND I VOTE THAT THE MMW WON THE FIFTH QUARTER VERSUS TSU BAND.

Hi Everyone!
On November 1, 2008 we will be having Open House at Fulton County Charlie Brown Airport in Atlanta. My son "Bril" is in flight school at this facility and he has for two years taken Aviation Enrichment Classes. He will have his professional Pilot's license when he turns 16. I invite each of you to come out on the date above if you have children who are interested in Aviation. My son has flown the Cessna 152 and now 172 and most weekends with his mentor, spends his time circling Stone Mountain, parts of Alabama and Georgia or just going back forth over the ATL. He loves being in the Air! I will post the official Airport Flyer shortly, but please save the date and come out! This program starts children at age 9 and ends when they are 18. Your child can be learning about flying and actually flying in no time. I’m on the Public Relations committee, so if you want to talk to me in-depth about the program, just give me a call. (404) 428-5315. We will be giving flights, in addition to aircraft and control tower tours all day during the event. Oh and food, food, food! (smile)
