It
became evident - from very early on - that "SAWR" [aka
Some Assembly Was Required] - to this end - left - you may see
Rosey in her infancy - as Elves #1 & #2 [aka Fledgling Matthew and Dr. Bell] help
bring her into the world.
We sometimes worry about running out
of cardboard [a seemingly extremely valuable commodity to our
Tiger Bands] but I think we shall be set for the foreseeable
future. Grrr... |
| The
birthing of Rosey began with the opening of the two large boxes
- and then proceeded - to "where the heck does this
go". After a few reflective moments - we began to get a
"handle" on the situation - and in addition to Rosey
being just what we need from a musical stand-point - we became
amazed at the sheer craftsmanship and beauty of construction
which Rosey represents.
Grrr... |

This is a sad, sad situation
represented above [we shan't mention the fine institution of
higher education from whence these gents came - shall we - but I
hear it is cold in Urbana-Champaign this time of the year -
Grrr...] |
The
question is "how many doctors does it take to assemble a
marimba [please, please that was a rhetorical question] the

do with the resonators |
The
"LOTB" [aka Laying of the Bars] - has an almost
biblical ring to it - do you not think

little slow on the uptake - rosewood bars - Rosey - get the
picture) |

.....and this is what it is all about -
a fine, fine young Band Scholar playing a fine, fine instrument
that for years will be an integral part of our Tiger Bands at
Georgetown College - a very special THANKS to Boss-Man and our
cherished "Band Friends" who made this important, new
addition to our institutional holdings possible. |
