I just sent the UMass Marching Band my second contribution towards their new building.
According to George Parks' letter they are making great progress. The plans may be sent to bids this October and the band hopes to be in their new home by the fall of 2010.
If you can help them achieve their goal, mail a contribution to:

In only 29 days UMass will open the lights at McGuirk. I'll be getting out of our truck and in the distance I'll hear the UMass Band cadence. That still sends a tingle down my spine!
