I'm more concerned about the Team making the Big Dance than I am the Pep Band.
I am with you. I certainly hope Dan does not waste JD's time with a question about the pep band.
Is not he where the buck stops? The one with ultimate responsibility. Maybe you want it to be on Richey. Or do we think it has to go all the way to the University President, (which would absolutely waste HER time)?
Well…
…Since the Pep Band is part of Marching and Pep Bands, which is part of Bands, which is part of Ensembles, which is part of Music, which is part of Academics which is led by a VP who reports to the University President (
https://www.furman.edu/academics/music ... hing-band/) AND Basketball is part of Athletics which is led by a VP who reports to the University President, this situation is an interdepartmental / intra-university conflict, the earliest (lowest level) nexus of which seems to arrive at the University President level. Thus, it would seem that “the buck” blows by JD the VP/AD’s door on this one.
The attendance (or not) of the Pep Band at Basketball games (NCAA Tournament or otherwise)(beyond their admittance, accommodations, safety & security at home venues and such..and, (perhaps) to a lesser extent at non-home athletics events) would seem to fall outside of his mandate.
