If you want a larger band, scholarship money needs to be available. The university provides only a limited amount; the Diamond M Club helps provide additional assistance, through its membership fees. But without an increase in membership to the club, or individual donations directed specifically toward band scholarships, the band directors can't increase numbers. Everyone knows how much tuition is.

$47,606

That's about half of what the band gets for scholarships each year in total.

However since all 52 of you old timers resist a mascot that fits our name,

we are not the 'trained mustangs' which is what the press release call the gift. a trained mustang is a horse and can no longer be a mustang.
you are thick headed.

Maybe that's why we keep losing, rather than trying to train ourselves to win and run the plays that are called, we just run around wildly and hope for something good to happen. I think the football and basketball teams need to be trained as though they were horses, bridle and all. I'm sure there are some organizations around Dallas for the specific purpose of training humans to act like horses...

Actually the band receives more than that with the Diamond M Club contributing a substantial amount.

Let's get picky. Altogether, the band receives just under three full scholarships' worth of aid each year, and there are 87 band members this year. Doesn't amount to much financial assistance.

Not to mention the canning of Pigskin Revue a near 80 year old event because they cant afford it anymore.

[JackSon 3]

You are looking at about $ 2,000.00 in assistance per year. It certainly helps with fees and books. Don't we have more to worry about than changing the Diamond M? What is this big push to change everything?

Some folks are catching on to the sarcasm of these threads. Others are not.
