Cal Band Stuff...

Cal vs. UCLA Half-time Show

We just watched the noon concert and I have to say... the show sounds GREAT.

It's a TV sports theme which includes: Monday Night Football Theme, MLB on Fox Theme, NBA on NBC Theme, NFL on CBS Theme, and NFL on Fox Theme.

All of the "songs" are really recognizable, very brass heavy, and therefore very loud. The show will be facing both sides I am told.

Bob Briggs

If you are a member of the California Alumni Association, you should be receiving your California magazine soon. I wanted to let you know that in this issue, there is only a small blurb on the passing of Bob Briggs. There will be a bigger write-up, including a picture, in the Jan/Feb edition.The North Tunnel Echo, the Cal Band's newsletter, will have a fantastic spread on Bob in the upcoming issue coming out in a few weeks.
