"Friends" of our Tiger Bands
"OC" [On-Campus] & "GC" [Geographically-Challenged]
Since the inception of the modern era of our Tiger Bands in the Fall of 1993, we have been diligently collecting, amassing, courting, nurturing and massaging a wide variety of both "OC" [On-Campus] & "GC" [Geographically-Challenged] "Friends" of our Tiger Bands. Our efforts have proven to be of the greatest import, and today we are most fortunate to have a veritable plethora of "Friends" of our Tiger Bands both on-campus and throughout the United States. These "Friends" serve our Tiger Bands in many important ways, they help with recruiting, the provide non-stop moral support and encouragement and have proven invaluable in the area of funding. Our efforts must never cease to increase the number and level of "Friends" of our Tiger Bands, and in all things we must work tirelessly to ensure that we are deserving of the support which these fine folk continually provide for us.
Band Friends ... 2014-2015
There follows a listing of donors whose generosity has enabled us to sustain our veritable plethora of performances, events and activities. They represent members of; The Band Friends, The Grrr… Club, The Director’s Circle ~ major supporters of our Grrr... Magic Sunflower Seed Project, donors to the Kim Summers Memorial Fund , supporters of the KUG and others who believe in and give selflessly to support the Band Scholars.
We neither would, nor could survive without their help. Thank-You.

"Gem Alumni"
of our Tiger Bands
Well, as with all-things Grrr… the concept of the "Gem Alumni" has developed over many years. We have always been blessed with many, many, many great Band Scholars – but some have made contributions ~ had a lasting impact upon our Tiger Bands which is of inestimable importance. It is actually pretty easy to know basically who is on the “GA” list – as it is those whom we talk about regularly, to this day. We are humbled by and beholden to these very special folks who had a transformational impact upon our Tiger Bands.
