Lift the Chorus, Speed It Onward into 2016!

Hello Big Red Bands Alumni!

After a fantastic fall semester, the Big Red Bands are gearing up for the spring! Here’s a brief overview of what we’ll be up to in the near future:

The Big Red Bands Annual Phonathon will be held on the evenings of February 1st and March 2nd. Watch for a call from a current Bands member! We love talking to you and appreciate your generous support!

If you would like to give to the bands by alternative means, please feel free to follow this link or contact our Fun(d)raising Chairs Alex Wong ’19 (asw243@cornell.edu) and Claire Schiefelbein ’19 (cms452@cornell.edu) with any questions.

The Big Red Pep Band has planned three trips to regular season Men’s Hockey games. Come and join the Lynah Faithful as we cheer Big Red to victory!

• January 29th and 30th at Clarkson and St. Lawrence
• February 5th and 6th at Quinnipiac and Princeton
• February 19th and 20th at Harvard at Dartmouth

Don’t forget to mark Reunion (June 9-12th) and Homecoming (September 23rd-24th) on your calendars!

Finally, we’re always looking to learn more about the band’s history. If you have any photos or stories that you wish to share from your time in the band, please get in touch! We can be reached at krb96@cornell.edu and of42@cornell.edu.

Looking forward to a great year,

Your 2016 Alumni Relations Chairs,

AND NOW, Introducing Your 2016 Alumni Relations Chairs

Enjoying pizza at Yale!

Fall 2015 was a wonderful season: We basked in the sunshine at band camp, shivered through trips to Montreal and Buffalo, and filled Lynah and Schoellkopf with joyful noise as we cheered on Big Red. But now 2016 is upon us! With a new year comes a new Bandstaph. It is our pleasure to introduce ourselves as your 2016 Alumni Relations Chairs!

Hi, I’m Kristen Rose! I’m a sophomore biology major who plays piccolo in the marching band. Although I love the piccolo, I eventually got tired of trying to tune it, so I also play horn in the pep band. If I’m not at band, I’m probably counting fruit flies.

Hello, I’m Odalis! I’m a freshman in ILR interested in pursuing a career in immigration law. I’ve played the flute since I was in elementary school and I’m glad I was able to continue that hobby by playing with the only REAL marching band in the Ivy League! In addition to music, I’ve always had a passion for dance.

We are thrilled to see what 2016 has in store for the Big Red Bands.

Please reach out to us at krb96@cornell.edu and of42@cornell.edu with any questions or comments. We’d love to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Kristen Rose Baxter ’18
