Thanksgiving and Black Friday and TTU... OH MY! 

11/27/2012

0 Comments

 
My name is Leanna Mason and I am the new Chaplain of Tau Beta :)

Thanksgiving break was amazing! Not only did I get to go home and see my family, I also go tot see my amazing new dog, Oreo :) We have had Rugby since I was in 7th grade, so my mom decided she wanted a new puppy :) Oreo is a toy poodle and just precious! My mom has MS, so the puppy brings a lot of joy to her day! :) 

I took about 50 pictures of the puppies total, so here is just one :)
Picture

Not only did I get to see my puppies, but I also went shopping with my little brother, Kyle, on Black Friday! We hit the shops from 9PM-2AM. Here's a picture of us being silly :) 

Picture

Did anyone else enjoy watching the Tech game? I personally feel like it took a few years off my life because of how stressful it was. Here is a picture of one of our Rushees, Lori & me at the game being silly! We were waiting to go into the stadium!

Picture

Here is a picture of the cool bear masks we received during the game! The directors made us take them off during the game :( But they let us wear them after the game, which was awesome! :D

Picture

Here are a few other pictures of the stadium! The game was absolutely amazing!! I feel bad for those of you who weren't there, but I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving as well! 

SIC 'EM! 
MLITB, 
Leanna

"We provide exceptional service to collegiate bands... "

"We provide exceptional service to collegiate bands... "

Anyone who has done anything musical knows how hard it can be to find a good music stand for rehearsal. This past Tuesday, the men of Kappa Kappa Psi and the ladies of Tau Beta Sigma set out to make it easier for you to find that perfect stand (the one that doesn't fall down when you set your cell phone on it...). We tightened and repaired over 60 stands in the school of music! We even salvaged some stand pieces from broken stands and managed to put together some new stands! 
Then we cleared out everything in room 118 ( it's a big room) so they could install some new curtains to fancy the place up a little bit. 
All in all, we had a good time serving the School of Music alongside our brothers. (through brotherhood and sisterhood, we serve music in unity!) it was a productive evening, and we even got some free Dr. Pepper from Mr. Grady (thanks!). 

Remember: "The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others" - Ghandi

Peace, love, and turtles,
Christina

Hi Sisters! My name is Heather & I'm the webmaster of Iota! I thought the perfect post to sum up the last few weeks should be all about homecoming! :3 I'm sure a lot of you miss the whole BUGWB Homecoming day! :3 In case you do miss it, please enjoy these photos of Homecoming weekend Iota style :D

Picture
There was a mild rain delay after half-time, so the band & alumni band was able to go into a weight room to wait it out. 
Picture
While waiting, we decided to take fun pictures :) The alumnae made me feel so loved! I can't wait to be a part of the alumni band next year :) 
Picture
Chelsea Middleton: "How do sororities take pictures now-a-days? Let's try it!" 
Haha... We look so awkward! Especially me with my 5'2" self next to Lauren :D

Finally, after the parade, rehearsal, pre-game, awesome half-time, rain delay, and football game win, WE SING :D
Picture
Sic 'em IOTA :3

Needless to say, I think I'm still on a homecoming high :) I loved getting to see all the alumnae (especially my big sister!). As a JA 2 years ago, I didn't care much for the Homecoming traditions of catching up with alumni, but I'm definitely starting to appreciate it more now that I actually know people who are alumni. :D 

As webmaster, I definitely tweeted a lot during the Homecoming weekend, so shout out to Kim who took pictures for me when my phone died in the second quarter of the game :3 If you haven't already, please follow TBSiota on twitter to get updates for blog posts & to see how the sisterhood is doing :3 

I can't wait to be considered an alumna next Homecoming & enjoy all the festivities that normal alumni get to experience during Homecoming weekend :3 

<3 ITB 
Heather

PS: In case you missed it (or want to watch it again), check out our Homecoming halftime performance :3 The fun starts at around 5:30

Meet Brittany Hanley Graham!
Picture
What was your MC class name? Orbit

What was your MC name? Orange

When did you cross? Spring 2008 … wow that makes me feel old

Who are your bigs? My Bigs are Sequoyah Johnson and Sarah Marzano.
Picture
This is Sequoyah and me during band week eating lunch with the horn section.  I made him really cool name tag. 
Picture
This is Sarah and me … being ourselves. You probably wouldn't understand, and that what I love the most about our relationship. 
Who are your littles? I have three littles: Jeanne Knepper, Will Fields, and Eric Roos. 
Picture
Jeanne with me at my wedding this last august. 
Picture
Will with me at formal my sophomore year. 
Picture
Eric with me at formal my senior year right before I gave him his paddle.
Where did you grow up? In San Antonio/Helotes.  

Where did you graduate high school? O’Connor High School.  My high school had an ag barn. It smelled like poop most days. It was disgusting.  

Why did you choose Baylor? What I usually tell people is because it had a really great music program (which it does), and my horn instructor from high school sent most of his students to Baylor (which he did). But the TRUTH is that I was dating a guy in high school my junior year that decided to go to Baylor, and then my senior year I applied and got in. I broke up with him after band week right before the first day of classes during freshman year of college.  

While at Baylor, where did you live? I started at North Russell, then moved into The Centre with a Tau Beta and a Bugwber my sophomore and junior year. Then for my last year and a half at Baylor I lived at 114 with Brenna Middleton, Katie Hart, and Jeanne Knepper. 
Picture
What was your most difficult class? I can’t really remember any one specific class being more difficult than any other, so I referred back to my transcript for this one. According to my transcript recital attendance was my most difficult class. I failed that twice. Haha... 

What is your favorite place and tradition on the Baylor campus? My favorite place on campus is 5th st. I had a very special moment happen last year during the homecoming parade on 5th st.- which so happens to be my favorite tradition.  c:  My boyfriend at the time proposed to me during the homecoming parade. Word to the wise - pick your drivers carefully if you are a nominee! You may end up a wife! 

What did you play in BUGWB? I was a hornstar! But I was also on staff my last year. 

Did you hold any leadership positions in Band Council, within your section, or TBS? Oh... where to begin.  I was on Band council as recruiting representative two years in a row.  I was keeper, service chair three times, VP of Education twice, unofficial blog person (it wasn’t an office yet...).  I was a squad leader, a section leader, and then on staff.  I think that’s it... 

Why did you decide to join Tau Beta Sigma? Everybody was doing it...  but seriously t was the thing that all my friends were in or deciding to do. 

What was your favorite Tau Beta event? The two third degrees I got to watch the two classes I trained go through.  Being VP was one of my favorite parts of being in TBS.  Watching those ladies cross was so great!
Picture
Picture
With what degree did you graduate? BA Music.  

What did you do with your degree? I got alternatively certified to teach music. 

What are you doing now/what do you want to continue doing? I am the assistant band director  at Harris Academy Middle School in San Antonio ISD.  I really sucked at it at first, but I’m getting the hang of it, and sucking at lot less now.  I definitely want to continue teaching middle school band for a little bit, but eventually the goal will be to teach high school band somewhere in texas.  Gotta have my marching band.  Maybe I’ll even get involved in Drum Corps again at some point at teach DCI during the summers.  

Tell us a funny/awesome Tau Beta story? (K-Psi can be included) Is it allowed to be my wedding?  Back in August I married a kpsi from the Beta Alpha chapter.  That was awesome.  Half of our bridal party was made up of Tau Beta and K-psi friends.  Like I said - awesome.  And we continue to live happily ever after. 

Show us some of your favorite Tau Beta pictures as well as pictures of your bigs/littles :) 

Remember how I said I got married... Ya most of these are going to be wedding pictures...
Picture
Katie with me before my wedding.

Emily and I have a history of taking ridiculous looking pictures...
