March 13, 2000, Epsilon Xi’s 30th Anniversary
In one paragraph (not to exceed one minute when read) discuss/address one significant event or occurrence which has had an impact on your chapter.
It has been an eventful year to say the least. I am sure many of you have heard of the infamous event following the Miami/West Virginia game plaguing the Miami University Marching Band this past fall. On the way back from WVU some members of our band choose to participate in some activities contrary to University policy- mainly alcohol consumption and “lewd behavior”. As a result, several University sanctions were given and the MUMB was prevented from performing at our Parent’s Day football game and at a Cincinnati Bengal’s football game. In light of these events the Epsilon Xi chapter has made appropriate changes to our behavior. For example, instead of watching “traditional” road trip movies, “Tubby the Tuba” (a G rated movie) is now a road trip must.
Please take one activity listed on the previous page unique to your chapter and explain in some detail what you chapter involvement is.
The High School Outreach program is a new program unique to Miami that was started this year. Members of the Epsilon Xi chapter travel to local high schools and preform with them at their football and basketball games. The Presence of our chapter has made and impact on the size and sound of their bands and has been appreciated by band members and fans alike. Every brother of our chapter enjoys this new program and therefore we hope to make it a continuous project.
