Spotlight on Organizations

While most KU fans watched the FedEx. Orange Bowl on TV, members of KU Marching Trumpets, a section of the Marching Jayhawks, were able to see the game in Dolphin Stadium. For these trumpeters traveling to places like Miami is just one of the perks of the organization.
"It really pays off when you are in marching band and you get to do something like that," vice-president Jordan Gouge, Lawrence sophomore said.
In addition to traveling, the 32 trumpet players in the Marching Jayhawks play at home football games, while 16 members play with the pep band during basketball season.
Several trumpeters play in ensembles for weddings, parties and other jigs.
KU Trumpets
"Being part of the marching band, we are one of the biggest organizations on campus," president Melissa Harmon, Lawrence senior said. "We get called for gigs and parties all the time because playing the trumpet is so popular."
Additionally, every Halloween several students perform for the residents of the Lawrence Presbyterian Manor, a retirement center. Four members also play with the KU Trumpet Ensemble with the School of Fine Arts.
Throughout the spring semester many trumpetists play with numerous concert band ensembles on campus.
However, the organization's main commitment occurs during football season when the band practices three times a week.
"The purpose of KU Marching Trumpets is to provide the whole entertainment aspect of the marching band while providing a good decent sound within the band as a whole", vice-president Jordan Gouge, Lawrenceophomore said.
Patrick Hunninghake,
Washington, D.C., sophomore, said
he joined the organization to
continue doing what he loved.
"I've marched all through high school and knew I was coming into a music program," Hunninghake, a music education and trumpet performance major said. "I wanted to make sure I got exposure to all different genres."
Harmon has played the trumpet
for 12 years, and said she has enjoyed the experiences she has gained from KU Marching Trumpets.
"It's a fun way to still get to play your instrument in college and to learn more about KU and its traditions." Harmon said.
For more information regarding KU Marching Trumpets, call the band office at (785) 864-3367 or email trumpets@ku.edu.

BUSINESS Joe College T-shirt trial is moved to March
The University of Kansas added ten new shirts to its lawsuit against toe-college.com.
The Massechussettes Street T-shirts vendor conjured the added disapproval from the University with shirts that mostly referred to this year's bowl bids.
As a result the trial, originally set for the beginning of January, was moved to March. March will mark nearly a year of on-going disputes between the two parties.
The University has said it is suing for trademark infringement because the T-shirts are being printed without the permission of the University.
The Joe-college.com Web site and store have posted disclaimers that the University does not endorse the T-shirts, but that is not enough to quell the pending lawsuit.
