Pssst. Know any Ohio University Alumni Band Members?
If so, can you forward this to them? I would be most appreciative.
Ohio University's Homecoming is October 13th, and everyone is getting excited!
Hey, Alumni Band!
Let's cut to the chase. You are in the top 5 best things about Ohio University's homecoming.
Here is my scientifically researched Top Five List.
As a psychology and English major, by "scientifically researched" I mean "my own opinion." Since I am a Bobcat, I am certain all of my fellow Bobcats will agree with my "research."
Top 5 Best Things About OU's Homecoming:
#5. Drinking beer with friends you haven't seen in forever.
#4. Watching the homecoming parade while drinking beer with friends you haven't seen in forever.
#3. Hanging out before the game at Tailgate Park while drinking beer with friends you haven't seen in forever.
#2. Going late to the game because you're drinking beer with friends you haven't seen in forever, and you know you can miss part of the first half of the game as long as you don't miss halftime.
#1. Watching the Alumni Band perform during the parade, at Tailgate Park, and at the football game all while drinking beer with friends you haven't seen in forever.
Can't wait to do these 5 things again this October!
We'll line up along Court Street to await the parade....
What?
Are you kidding me?
Ohio University has changed the parade route?
Errrrrr....
So the current plan is to start the parade down at the bottom of a steep hill.
Basically think of it as the bowels of Ohio University. It's a lovely spot if you're into bowels.
My hubby once rented an apartment in that samebowel area when he was an O.U. student. It's since been destroyed because it was so heinous. Even by bachelor, fraternity boy standards it was heinous. Great place to start a parade.
The route will require parade participants to walk up hill on a winding street. I'm going out on a limb here, but that hill is pretty darn steep for 21 year olds carrying book-bags. I'm wondering howolder mature alumni members will feel carrying their tubas and drums up that hill?
Alumni Band, may I make one teeny, tiny suggestion?
When you arrive at Court Street, can you hook a left? If only for a fewblocks yards.
Yeah, you're supposed to take a right thereby hardly performing at all on your beloved Court Street.
Yeah, OU says the route has been changed for "safety reasons."
Yeah, following the parade route would be the sensible, conservative, and obedient approach to take.
Yeah.
Um. (pause) You don't strike me as a sensible, conservative, obedient band. And I mean that as a compliment.
You are Rock Stars!
You want to please your fans, leave a mark on the world, and be unique.
You play that funky music while gyrating and dancing. You know you want to play on Court Street. It's in your bones! You've been playing on Court Street for decades. You don't want to return to OU just to play in the bowels when you can frolic thru the main artery. You want to play Court Street.
I know you do and Bobcat Nation wants you to do so, too!
Hook a left! Please hook a left.
And while you're at it, play that funky music!
