Vote for the Auburn Band!

Ok, avid readers, the Auburn University Marching Band needs your help! Below is a little blurb I wrote at work about the situation for the Auburn Report, AU's faculty/staff newsletter. So visit this Web site and vote now and vote often and be sure to share this with all your AU friends! We are currently getting slaughtered by LSU and while it is too late to rally for football, we've still got a chance to beat those "wrong kind of tigers" and their "Golden Band from Tigerland" in this contest!

Here's the scoop:

ESPN and Paramount Pictures selected Auburn's marching band as one of the top 8 marching bands in the country. As a result, a production crew was on campus Sept. 12 to film the band as it performed the famous theme song from the Indiana Jones movie series. Taking the field in the shape of a skull, the band played the song over and over again while cameras were repositioned to film at various angles. The taped performance will be put online Sept. 29 and fans will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite college marching band. The promotion coincides with the DVD release of the latest movie in the Indiana Jones franchise: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The other bands selected include Louisiana State University, Clemson University, and the universities of Georgia, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and Southern California. Each university represented will receive $5,000 for being selected and the winner of the online voting contest will receive $25,000 for a first-place finish.
