ANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

This past November, Upsilon expanded its’ service to the surrounding community by donating $450 to the Deer Park High School Band.  This band was in the process of raising several thousand dollars towards its’ first trip, the destination of which was Florida.  A brother of Upsilon, an alumnus of Deer Park, brought the band’s situation before the chapter and the decision was made to donate the funds from the annual Octoberfest fundraiser.   Needless to say, the financing came together and the trip was a success.   

 

IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES:

Cincinnati Band Leadership Clinic, May 12

UC Band Spring Concert, May 24

 

Is there anyone or anything you want the Committee on Credentials & Resolutions to recognize?  (Include Chapter Anniversaries)

The Upsilon Chapter would like to acknowledge our newest Honorary Members, Dr. Terren L. Frenz, Mr. Tom Acheson, and Ms. Julie Benken.  We would also like to recognize “Dr. Tim” Lautzenheiser, a close friend of the UC Bearcat Bands as well as Upsilon.  “Dr. Tim” is a candidate for this year’s Distinguished Service to Music Medal and was nominated by Upsilon.  We wish him the best of luck. 

 

In one paragraph (not to exceed one (1) minute when read) discuss/address one significant event or occurrence which has had an impact on your chapter.  (ex. a fundraiser, crisis, revamped Candidate Program)

A web server for the benefit of the UC Bearcat Bands and its’ supporting organizations was recently purchased and assembled by the Upsilon Chapter.  This is being used to host websites for the following organizations: UC Bearcat Bands, UC Band Alumni Association, Upsilon Chapter of KKY, Theta Chapter of TBS, and the Compendium of College Marching Bands.  In the near future, it is expected that Upsilon will also host local high school band’s websites as a service to these organizations.  The purchase of the server has allowed for easy maintenance and expansion of our current websites. 

 

Please take one of the activities listed on the previous page unique to your Chapter and explain in some detail what your Chapter’s involvement is.  (This should also be read)

Jointly, the Upsilon chapter and our sister chapter Theta, have spearheaded the Joint Ceremony Project for the District.  The purpose of this is to provide those schools which have a chapter of both KKY and TBS an opportunity to strengthen inter-organizational relations through a Joint Ceremony.  Upsilon and Theta’s version of the ceremony was showcased at last year’s District Convention.  Since then, other Chapters throughout the district have had an opportunity to share their versions and ideas.  All of this as been compiled into a proposal which is being presented to the District this weekend. 

 

Conclusion

It has been another successful year of growth, leadership, and service for the Upsilon Chapter.  The recent incorporation of 10 new members has provided the chapter with new ideas and outlets for service.  The chapter looks forward to continual service to our band, community, and Fraternity.  Thank you.         

 

In the Bond,
