I don't have a lot to say about this, but my favorite moment was the (semi-humerous) suggestion that the MMB take buses from Ann Arbor to Dallas. That would have been one epic road trip and I thought of passing this idea around to see what fun bus activities the Band Alumni imaginations would come up with to fill in the 20 hours of bus time. However, this event seemed to be less than a joke to everyone so I didn't.
