Our
2002 Harvest Season started with the NAIA National Championship
Series Play-Off Game I when our Tigers took on the
"Bees" from St. Ambrose University. The Band Scholars
were "armed" with their "ABPD" [Anti-Bee
Protection Devices] which caused a great deal of
Grrr...Excitement |
 |
The Band Scholars begin the
158th Fall Anniversary Concert with the Kentucky Chorale and
Star-Spangled Banner
Continuing with the The New
Colonial March featuring Matthew-Cope and Fledgling Ken on the
triangles
|
 |
On a chilly, late-November
evening we were blessed with an unusually large crowd of Ma'
& Pa's, Kith & Kin and Band Friends
The concert ends with a
rousing and enthusiastic standing-ovation from all in attendance

Emily Hales, daughter of Tom & Denette Hales of Silver
Spring Maryland served as our featured student soloist for the
Fall Anniversary Concert. "Killer" is a psychology
major and plans to attend law school upon graduation in May. She

Leadership Team] as well as the members of our Tiger Band Hall

| And
then, on Saturday, November 30th it was time for "Turkey
Bowl V" [aka the NAIA National Championship Series
Quarter-Finals] The "HV" [aka Holiday Version - we use
the 200-mile rule in these cases - those Band Scholars who live
within two hundred miles of campus are "invited" to
participate] of our Fighting Tiger Grrr...Pep Band was red hot
and a'heatin' as our #3 Tigers took on the #4 and undefeated
Cougars of St. Francis University. To the right is Adam Jackson
Nance [aka Big] sporting one of the very snappy TBV T Shirts.
Big is the Godfather of our modern approach to the Turkey Bowl
experience. |

attendance [from left to right - Dr. Sonny Burnette, Mr. &

No Tiger Band Event is
complete without our assorted Rites & Rituals and in the
absence of S.P.A. [aka Emily - Spiritual Person Already] and
S.P.I.T. [aka Fledgling David - Spiritual Person In Training]
both of whom live well-outside the 200 mile corridor - Dr. Pete
led the proceedings [and if you have not heard - or not heard
recently - of the tragic time when I publicly prayed when I was
Band Director at Bloom-Carroll High School - yes approximately
one hundred years ago - it is a story worth hearing] |

.....and
Turkey Bowl V was a huge Grrr...Success
it was a bit chilly [understatement]
out at our Rawlings Stadium - it was a tad windy [enormous
understatement - I believe "howling winds" were the
descriptors used by the National Weather Service] out at our
Rawlings Stadium - but the final score was
Georgetown College Tigers (#3) - 24 ~ St. Francis
University Cougars (#4) - 0
and for the fourth year in a row - our Tigers
move to the Semi-Finals of the NAIA National Championship
Play-Off Series
Grrr... |
