So the Human Jukebox is the ONLY band program that Fundraises for scholarships, new instruments, and new uniforms???...NOT!!!
There are many other bands that fundraise also....INCLUDING SWAC BANDS!!!!. IJS
When SU does something, some of y'all ALWAYS try to take it and put a negative spin on it. SMH

Not everyone is being negative. I think the band director was so arrogant last season by throwing in everyone's faces that they, meaning SU, have McDonalds, Yamaha, getting a $200,000 check from the Floyd Mayweather vs Pacquio event, going to many away games and botb, etc. and then right before the new season starts they claim that they are broke, to me it's hard to believe and careless.
The articles and pictures you dug up about the other bands are old and Im sure at the time those bands were fundraising they werent boasting about having sponsors before hand, then claim "we broke yall" literally, right before students are to start band camp.
You cant expect everyone to feel sorry for them.
So promoting it via, social media which is the 21st century thing to do, is being arrogant? People are really behind times if they think this. The whole point of sponsorships is so those corporations can be shown publicly giving back to the organizations. Same reason why you see McDonalds, Coca-Cola, etc.... on the football team scoreboards, or why you see the Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour logos on the team uniforms. They give your organization money, they want you to publicize that they sponsored your group. If SU fans see that McDonald's and Citgo sponsor the band, there might be an increased chance that they go and spend their money at those businesses.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH NUMBER1!!! MY POINT EXACTLY!!

It doesn't matter if other schools were fundraising 10 years ago, last week, or this morning, they were fundraising for a REASON (scholarships, instruments, uniforms, travel, etc)!!! So SU is not suppose to fundraise but every other band can!!! SMH
SU is not asking for pity, they are asking for financial support just like other bands do!!!

No need to be hostile I was just stating my opinion on this issue. I refuse to argue over something that does not effect me. I wish you all the best.
Take Care,
If this does not AFFECT you, why be petty about SU's band fundraising then??? OBVIOUSLY, you just have straight HATE for SU since you're not on here stating your opinion about every other band's fundraising efforts!!!!!

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.....LOL
if it doesn't affect you then why are commenting on it... It's not our fault that you are still upset that Southern blew out Bethune in 2006.

Southern blew Cookman out in 2006? BOL. I was there and I can tell you there was no blow out. Now you're telling me Cookman got blown out by 20 something year old instruments? If Southern were to ever do bad would they admit it? So once again good luck with that fund raising.
But don't bring up Cookman up again. We eatin'. Matter fact eatin so good even our dancers get a piece of the pie so don't worry about bands that are well balanced and then some. We need new uniforms we no questions asked, because we have GOOD relationships with people. And if we have a sponsorship we wouldn't cry we broke later
Again good luck to YOUR band minus the dolls (because they at least can't afford new things). Btw did you donate? I bet you didn't.
*walks away laughing*
