BVII Painting & Renovations
BVII = Band Van Number Two
(as we prepare for our 2005-2006
Performance Season)
Junior, PLUR & Matthew check BVII's
body fluids before we begin |
On Saturday, September 10th a fine,
fine group of Band Scholars joined with me for some necessary
upkeep, painting and renovations to our much-beloved BVII as we
prepare for our new performance season.
The project was coordinated by our
new BVII Master, Junior, and aided by Elder Scholar Ken and Middle
Children Sierra, PLUR, Matthew and Jon. |

[pounding] on the wheel - why not use a hammer

future, showing his fine hand-eye coordination |

Right: our local German Scholars
Sierra & PLUR touching-up the cow spots which tend to make BVII
highly recognizable - please notice their Teutonic handling of
this intricate task BVII
is quite an amazing machine, capable of handling the many needs of
the Band Scholars and our Tiger Bands, so long as you do not go
too far or want to go too fast
Grrr... |

project Right: Junior
taking great care with the bumper project [I hope he takes as
great of care as he drives it] |

almost done with the bi-annual
painting and renovations of BVII - we think it will be in fine
fettle to get us through our next two performance seasons - ok,
the clutch slips a tad - yes, you might see a bit of rust here and
there - alright, it is pretty loud ..... but it definitely shows
up well and folks near and far know the Tiger Bands are near when
BVII is spotted [I was a
bit concerned that Ken & PLUR might fall through the roof - but
fear naught, all was okay]
Grrr... |

thanks to these fine Band Scholars for their incredible efforts
for and towards BVII |
