We're always lucky to have a TBS Spirit Chair!

Hey sisters! 
My name is Leanna Mason! I am a Deaf Education Major with a Religion and Signed Language Interpreting double minor! 
I am a Flute Squad Leader and SPIRIT CHAIR! :)

I'm in charge of making spirit days for Friday rehearsals! 
One day we had TACKY FRIDAY! And here was my outfit.. (Remember the old bubble shirts we used to wear :D) (I also did the tacky sunscreen :D)

Picture
The next one (and my favorite) was TWIN DAY! I attached a picture of me and my squad :D They are amazing! We are inseparable! On the back of our shirts, we put our squad number, our nick name, and a Finding Nemo quote :) Let me explain a little bit. We are obsessed with FInding Nemo. I'm not really sure why, but during band week, I tried to think of something to say when we got to our sets. One time I said "Sharkbait" and the rest of them said "HOO HAHA!" So, we say that all the time now! And our "sorority" we made is a fish, a roman numberal 5, and an H and A put together. (To stand for Sharkbait, Hoo Ha Ha and 5 for the 5 of us!) From left to right It's me (Crush), Lori aka my twin (Squirt), Kelsey (my little) (shepherd), Katie (Nemo), and Amy (Dory).

WE LOVE BAYLOR! 
Thanks for reading my silly blog about my silly/amazing squad :D


MLITB,
Leanna Mason

Hey, this is Kathryn! I'm a senior this year, and a music performance major, and this year has just been crazy so far, but in all the best ways! Sadly, I'm not able to be in marching band this year, but I'm in Symphonic Band and we're playing some really great music. I'm also looking forward to the Courtside Players and cheering on the volleyball and basketball teams! Over this summer I watched a lot of baseball, wrote a lot about sports, and went to Italy! Now, I know Italy doesn't exactly fit in with the first two things in that list, but it was incredible. I was able to participate in a music festival in Arcidosso this summer, and going to Italy as my first out-of-the-country experience was something I would have never predicted. The temperatures were especially nice, coming from the 100+ F heat here in Texas, and one of my favorite things from the trip was getting to perform in a church built in the 1400s. 
I'm so excited about being in Tau Beta this year and helping the band in any way I can! The Golden Wave's got a great season ahead of them, and even though I'm sad that I can't be out there marching this year, it'll be great to cheer them on from the sidelines.

Interview with Delta!

Hi, I’m Kim and I’m Secretary for Iota :3

A (large) part of my job is correspondence with other chapters and I just wanted to give a shout-out to our lovely “Delta Doll” sisters at OU who were kind enough to answer some of my questions about their chapter:

How many members do you have at your chapter?

We have 44 wonderful Sistaus!

When is your chapter’s birthday?

We were founded on April 28, 1946.

What are some events and activities your chapter has participated in?

Some of the things we do include monthly dress-up chapters where we have our social head pick a theme (like rock star chapter, or halloween chapter), we do a lot of joint social events with KKY (this summer we did a camping trip and it was so much fun!), we also are planning on a Sisterhood retreat this year (for the first time) and we are so pumped. The Delta Dolls also do an annual Pride Work Day in which we help our band director with any and all tasks that will make our band camp go smoothly (we make music folders, help with instruments, help line and "tick" the practice field, etc), we help band freshmen move into the dorms, we help with band camp, we help distribute uniforms and the great Nike apparel we all get, we help with game day tasks (passing out plumes, passing out food, cleaning up, etc.), we help usher our School of Music's performances, we hold receptions for some of our music ensembles after concerts, we host an Alumni reception during our homecoming week, we help collect and deliver canned food to our local Christmas Store, we have participated in Habitat for Humanity as well as "The Big Event" which is a campus wide service event where we help out around the Norman community. This isn't everything we do, but I think you all get the idea ;)

What is something you would like to share about your chapter?

Our chapter could have been the second national chapter, but our founders decided to wait until the fourth so that we could be the first "twin" chapters with our brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi. We take a lot of pride in being the twin chapters of Delta. :) Also, one of our own Delta sisters, Dorothy Allen Nichols, became the fourth National President of Tau Beta Sigma. We have also hosted SWD Convention twice!

We also received a lovely letter from Beta Gamma this week telling us about the great service they have done for the University of Texas Longhorn band as well as the service they have done for their community (like volunteering at the Ann Richards School for Girls!).

We love hearing from other chapters and learning about our sisters all across the country, despite any school rivalries that may exist, ;) – thanks again, Delta and Beta Gamma! :3

Allyson & Porter

The past two weeks have been even more of a rollercoaster in my life than usual. Why, you ask? I got a DOGGIE!!! Yay :> Two weeks ago after meeting I drove from Waco to Bastrop to pick up my very own miniature Australian shepherd. When I got him his name was Tank, but that just didn't fit him at all, so I have since renamed him Porter Stanton Baker, and he has taken to the name quite happily.

Picture
Although Porter spent the first 24 hours tucked away cowering in his kennel, a visit from the dog whisperer Chelsea Allen helped to bring him out of his shell. By the next morning he had determined that I was his “person” and has become my new best friend. Throughout the past two weeks he has moved to the “big city”, gotten a new mommy, had surgery, learned how to pull all of the toys out of his backpack, and attempted to eat my Classical Mythology homework (No really, professor!).

Beyond getting a puppy dog, I am also learning to play jazz improv solos in my jazz combo. It is so much fun pushing my abilities in theory and on my clarinet. It is not, however, as fun for Porter, who doesn't love the high register on my clarinet! Either way, I am having a wonderful time with both my doggie and my music!

President Report!

Hi! My name is Lynn, and I am the president this year of the Iota chapter! 

Picture
This is me at the Lady Bear’s Final Four Championships in Denver, CO playing with the Courtside Players! (On the right is my wonderful boyfriend, Cole!)

So being the President this year has been a lot of fun so far! Though I’m not so fond of the paperwork, I get to see all of the big picture stuff that goes on: planning for Musical Bear Scouts by Nicky (a service project where we help Girl Scouts earn some of their music badges), Crush by Kim (still working on approval by Student Activities, but her idea is just awesome! I am sure more will come about that later), rush events by our VP Heather, etc.

My biggest goal as President is the betterment of the sisterhood. What sorts of things can we do better? What else can we do to serve the bands? We really want to focus on being the absolute best that we can be with more service opportunities, loving on our sisters in our chapter and around the country, and being a great presence in our band program. I am so excited to serve as President this year. I cannot wait to see what amazing things our chapter can do this year and in years to come.

And now, enough talking, let me share a fun picture with one of my sisters!

Picture
This picture is from the Albuquerque Zoo when we were on the 2nd & 3rd Round tournament trip with the Men’s Basketball team with the Baylor Courtside Players! This is Heather (VP and Webmaster) and I (I’m on the left), pretending to be flamingoes! Enough said!

MLITB and MOTS,

Lynn
