Deepest Condolences to DSU and their Marching Band

It is with heartfelt saddness and grief that we offer our sympathies and support to the DSU Band Directors, members and total university community as they mourn the loss of Terrance Aeriel, Iofemi Hightower and Dashon Harvey Our prayers and thoughts go out to the university, the band and the parents, as well as our hopes for recovery to Natasha Aerial.

Equipment Truck WRAPPED!

It has been one year in the making, but thanks to the enormous efforts of Mary Hempel, Monny Givens, the Photographers at Public Relations, and especially Keith Heckert in Graphics (creator of all the art work!), the truck wrap is complete!

THANK YOU UDAA for the gift that made this happen!

$5,000 Gift from the UDAA

In a letter dated March 25, 2004, the University of Delaware Alumni Association Board of Directors:

"unanimously agreed to present the University of Delaware Marching Band with a gift of $5,000.00 to be used to decorate the new Marching Band truck. It is our hope that the truck be wrapped with UD Marching Band images in similar fashion as the UD/Delaware Express athletic bus."

Over the next few months the graphics will be designed and approved by the UDAA. Our goal is to have the truck finished in time for Band Camp.

Our OWN Equipment Truck!

After YEARS of renting an equipment truck the UDMB Graduate Assistants can sleep in on Saturday mornings! In a joint effort between the Marching Band and the College of Arts and Sciences, a used 25' box truck was purchased this spring. The truck is in excellent condition. The company painted it white and added a hydraulic lift to the back tailgate.
