NPR Story on JSU's Sonic Boom..

[57stratdawg]

The band director said that they fine members from their scholarship:

$50 - late for practice
$200 - miss a practice
$1,000 - miss a performance

Thats pretty ****** of them to hold a kids scholarship money if they're late for practice.

Their band and dance team performed

For my company at an event a few years ago. I have never seen women move like that in my life, it was amazing.

Sounds like they are hoping to fine them to make university a little money

They gotta pay for that Dome them and City of Jackson are going to build. Attendance was announced as 4,400 last Saturday. They already have groups calling for AD to fire Harold Jackson in his 1st yr. Them losing to Comegy/MVSU was like us losing to Maine. They are 3-6 overall

I don't mind the concept.

Amounts are too steep though.
