Mighty Sound of Maryland Instrument Drive 2009 Ends
The Mighty Sound of Maryland will be collecting musical instruments, music accessories and monetary donations in conjunction with Hungry For Music, a locally based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which distributes instruments and provides musical opportunities for underprivileged children nationally and internationally. For collections at Football games, volunteers will be positioned outside of the West Gate (the gate closest to the garage) for the two hours prior to every home game. Alternately, you can drop off your donation at the band office in the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center (across the street from the West Gate) at any point during the drive. As both Tau Beta Sigma and Hungry For Music are non-profits, your donation is tax deductible! Donation forms will be available at all drop off points. This drive will run through Tuesday, December 1, 2009.

Homecoming Registration 2009 & Centennial DVD Sales - Coming Soon!
Posted September 16th, 2009, 9:00 pm by Marianne Kassabian
Yes, we’re a tad behind announcing Alumni Band and starting registration, but for good reason. On the verge of going live, our Database and Web Master, Noah, and his wife Theresa welcomed their future little band member into the world, just in time for the first home game of the season! Congratulations to Noah, Theresa and Little Emma!
Centennial DVD for Sale
The Centennial Homecoming 2008 DVD is available for sale. Those attending Homecoming will receive their copy in the Homecoming Packet. Those not attending Homecoming will receive it in the mail following Homecoming. The price is a modest $15, and makes a great present! It also makes a great item for a Baby Time Capsule! You can order the DVD with your Homecoming registration.
History Book Shipping in August
Posted July 16th, 2009, 8:25 pm by Marianne Kassabian
The Band Centennial History Book will be shipping out in August. There were some tweaks that had to be made, causing us to miss the two-week summer break from the presses. During that break the presses were cleaned and we will be one of the first to roll as soon as the plant starts up again next week.
We are very proud of the book. It is beautiful, full of photographs, and the song book will be something everyone should have. After all, the last one was printed in 1941!
If anyone missed ordering the book, or song-book, the only book store to carry them will be the Maryland Book Exchange on Route 1, just across the street from our Chapel Field.
Thank you,
L. Richmond Sparks
