Long Live the Cape!

As is eventual with the unending passage of time, all things must change. And, so, on January 19^th in the 67^th Year of Our Undefeat, by the Justinian reckoning, the band happened to find themselves congregated in the band closet on accident all at the same time with enough coincidental luck to witness the announcement of a new band leader for the next two years.

Naturally, there was much excitement about who this next leader might possibly be. Who would be chosen to fearlessly lead the band against the teterrimous traps that the dastardly defectors were sure to be conjuring as well as a whole other score of threats and obstacles that might (foolishly) challenge Williams's chosen band? Who would keep the Order of Moocow fed and nourished?

Their questions were to be put to rest as the band members fell into the traditious roles of ceremony, with Griswold as Bearer of the Whistle and Carlos as Bearer of the Bearer of the Whistle. The other members formed in a circle over the carpet-for-induction goldfish as their new band leader was announced…

Welcome to those sacred ranks, that time-honored and respected position, that ultimate dictatorship, Jessica Luning! A band member since her Freshman year, we can rest assured that once again the Moocho Macho Moocow Military Marching Band is in good hands; your Band stands at your command.

New Leader

While our leaders of old never truly leave, whether in memory or spirit (here's looking to you, Leah), they do – unfortunately – eventually graduate. And, so  we must bid farewell to Will Harron. He has lead us well, whether it be against rowdy and jealous rugby players or in ensuring a proper alibi during the fourth quarter of an AmHerst game. Whatever plans he has ahead (and they will assuredly be great), we wish him well and good luck.

And as we see Will off, we look to Carlos Dominguez take up our reigns, give us insight and a straight future path, and shed eternal glory upon that Ephraim blessed band of the highest military order – the Moocho Macho Moocow Marching Band. A band member since his Freshman year, we know that Carlos will do well in his post and keep us fed fully on the nourishment that all growing children need – root beer and sour skittles.
