Big thanks for these donations. Lots of other folks at the university have also donated, including Deans of most of the colleges on campus- along with others.

Coach Staley in particular has a bit of a habit of financially supporting the band. Earlier this year she paid for the travelling band to eat lunch on one of their trips to support the women's team in the NCAA tournament. When they won the national title, she made a point of bringing the trophy over to the band so they could hold it and get their picture taken with it.


They leave early Sunday morning. In New York City all week. Even play a mini-concert near the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday with the UMASS marching band. Return just in time to attend the Clemson game Saturday.

A fair number of fans (like me and my family) are going to be in the city all week. Local Gamecock alum clubs in New York will also be attending some of the events to support the band.

Excellent. Thanks for sharing and have a good time. Watch them Damn Yankees though.
