Our first Roadtrip(blows) of the year is in the books, and it has concluded with moderate to great success. Thankfully no uniform parts were forgotten this year, unfortunately two saxes were late for the bus and had to ride Bus 7 with the ever pleasant Tubas and Mellophones. Due to some funding logistics, the Bookmobile set out in class, complete with leather seats and on-board wifi. The bus ride to Evanston High School (Home of the Wildkits!) was filled with some great entertainment from the upperclass contigent and some lame attempts at humor by the freshmen class. Taft and company met us for morning practice where the saxes marched on what would turn out to be the best kept field they would march on all day. Upon arriving the oh so great city of Chicago, the band played two or three songs at "Badgerville" before being transported via bus approximately 400 yards to the stadium, where some remarked "this stadium looks like a World War I tribute, with a spaceship in the middle, therefore Ancient Aliens exist." Truer words were never spoken. After being thrust into a ridiculously small room somewhere in the bowels of Soldier Field for five minutes, the band proceded to take the field where Jay Cutler's brown stained underwear is still presumably impacted into the ground where Clay Matthews left it. Despite some minor problems during run-on, Rank 24 performed a great show, complete with everyone's favorite 1812 Overture marching step-horns up combination move. The All-Stars once again took the field for a near flawless performance of "This 70's Show." (Note: this is different from "That 70's Show" performed 4 years ago, but still included a rousing rendition of 'Da Doo Ron Ron') Due to the horrible field conditions in Soldier Field, the (World Famous!) 5th Quarter was performed outside the stadium. The fans were generally appreciative of the Band's hard work, and yells of "Amurica!" and "I didn't even know you guys played today!" could be heard as they exited the field. A perfect Yellow Meal was enjoyed by all on the way home (luke warm temperature, slightly soggy, and 100% yellow colored). Ozzy and Bleeker made a failed attempt at a dance party on the back of the bus, and everyone learned some much needed information about the until then (and still) enigmatic freshmen class. The rest of the trip was uneventful and everyone arrived home safely and happy, ready to begin working on the massive poop consisting of all four meals they were served on the trip.

Yesterday, the 34th (or 10 & 24th if you prefer) edition of the MuMuPi All-Stars made their glorious and much anticipated return to both Union South and the hallowed turf in what turned out to be the hottest game in the history of Camp Randall. Most had sweated through their uniforms by the time the pregame concert started, but that did not stop them from marching a great first show. There were some new additions as both Brim and Moecia marched their frist pregame show in 24 (I guess it was actually 23 this time around), and Pepe found a temporary home in rank 2 (screw you). Despite the heat no one passed out and by halftime it had cooled off for a rousing rendition of 'Viva Elvis!' For the first and conceivably last time in recent memory, the saxes had a whole eight steps out onto the field for the 5th Quarter. Unfortunately they squandered this once in a lifetime opportunity by simply riding their saxophones as if they were horses instead of coming up with something infintely more creative. Also, Russell Wilson is my hero.

Russell Wilson made a most excellent decision today. Also, all of you lazy scrotes better start getting in shape, less than two months til the Rain of Terror begins.

Also Russell Wilson, let's hope this one isn't under center for us this fall.

A very successful roadtrip (blows!) weekend indeed. Purdue thought they had a chance, but with an entirely different team on the field after halftime, we came back with a vengeance. Suck it Pete. Going above and beyond the call of duty, we have.....SSSSsss...BOOM ah (whistle), A song from your favorite over-achieving freshman, Bullseye

In Rank 24 (to the tune of "Part of your World" from the Little Mermaid)

Look at this rank

Isn’t it sweet?

Wouldn’t you say we make the whole band complete?

Wouldn’t you say that the saxes

Have got everything?

And then there’s Mike

Who knows we’re the best

But the way that he acts you know he could care less

Looking at us can’t he see

We’ve got everything

We’ve got pi chicks and pi guys a plenty

We’ve got skinny white boys galore

You want a good number of rankmates? How ‘bout twenty?

But there are some things

That still creep me out

In Rank 24

I should ask, because

I don’t get why

When Fiskars is drunk

She gets one bum eye

Walking around like, [what’s up her ass? Oh, a pole]

This one guy in our rank has a condition that’s bizarre

His name is Taft, and we all know how gingers are

Walking around even though

[What don’t gingers have?] A soul!

And then there’s Ozzy

And the little girls he thinks are great

Just stay away from my cousin she’s only eight

That’s just one thing, that still freaks me out

In Rank 24

Now, Bleeker and Dillie

Please don’t kill me

They make awkward lovers

And what would Simps pay

To spend a day

Between Zoltan’s thighs

Everyone in band

Clearly understands

That their girlfriends are really elaborate covers

And then there’s Cheeks here

Whose [kind of a creeper]

He rapes total strangers with his eyes

I can only imagine what Pepe was dreaming

When he passed out and he got an asshat

Like, what’s this smell, and why does it

What’s the word? Burn!

And there’s some things

That I just find plain weird

Like Phoebe’s blue shades and Bessie’s beard

But there’s one good thing

We still [get more]

In Rank 24

Also, verse two, brought to you by Bleeker. Live it, Learn it, Love it.

Last night was the biggest football upset in the history of...EVER!! Ok, maybe not ever, but this certainly qualifies as a moment of happiness. I can't think of a better end to a great show under the lights. A number 18 Wisconsin beat number 1 Ohio State for an interesting change up in the rankings. Wisconsin now sits happily in the top 10, while OSU falls to number 11. This, like every day, is a GREAT day to be a Badger!

August 28th, 2010

Congratulations to our new freshmen! John Beck, Chris Day, Jocelyn Piller, Michael Kelbel, Mike Faust, Julia Mercer, Malcolm Robey, and Thomas Gibbs

The size of the section nearly doubled! Maybe Mike doesn't hate us after all? Great work this past week, guys!

August 26th, 2010

A new batch of fresh meat came in this morning. As usual, there's more freshmen than upperclassmen combined. Work 'em hard, and see who can stick it out!

March 8th, 2010

Twas the night before nothing important, when all through the house, all the saxes should be drunk, not writing silly stories. That being said, here's a lovely epic poem brought to you by py and zolie. We obviously don't party enough anymore. Out up 24 and ____

'Twas the night before Spring Concert
And all through the town
The band kids were drinking, gulping shots down

The tables were set
With all cups well placed
In hopes that the police wouldn't have to be faced

They finally stopped drinking
And passed out on their beds
While Mike Leckrone, ensequinsed, danced in their heads

Then out on the porch
Swiss heard such a clatter
And rose from his bed to see what was the matter

Sitting there at the table
Was Moe, who was drunk
Cleaning her horn of all the green junk

Swiss jumped back afraid
At what he did see
Moe folded like paper, head under knee

Then from behind the door
Swiss and Moe heard a cough
And there was Ozzy, in a chair, jacking off

Their screams awoke Simps
From his hot steamy dream
In which he was on his knees taking Zoltan's cream

By now it was six
And because they are old
Ritz, Fiskies and Honky out of bed rolled

Their joints a'creakin
They went to the next room
To awaken Brim and Nancy when there was a big boom!

Twas the sound of Taft falling
From the balcony high
After puking from there onto poor Py

They cleaned up a bit
But were too sleepy to hear
Yurtle's alarm clock sounding, the concert drew near!

Said Yurtle
On Fisky
On Brimley
On Py

On Ozzy
On Zolie
And that one Bleeker guy

They arrived at the concert
With just seconds to spare
But they were just saxes so Leckrone didn't care

They made it through warm-ups
And marched out on stage
Holding their liquor quite well for their age

At the end of the concert
Mike said, "See you real soon!"
But the saxes passed out before the end of the tune

And when they woke up
The Kohl Center was clear
The only thing left to ask was, "Who's bringing the beer?"

So they partied again
With MuMuPi might
"On Wisconsin to all and to all a good night!"

January 5th, 2010

The MuMuPi Allstars were once again in excellent form for their apearance at the Champs Sports Bowl on December 29th. Wisconsin trampled Miami for a 20 to 14 victory.
