>It is with regret that I inform you of the dissolution of the "Pride 
>of Duquesne" Marching Band at Duquesne University. Currently there 
>are efforts underway by students, friends and faculty to halt this 
>action by the university. This is due to the dreaded "cutting of the 
>arts". This is a topic that should strike a chord (pun intended) 
>among all Sinfonian brothers. Whether you like marching band or not, 
>I ask you to go to http://www.savethepride.com/ and affix your name 
>to the petition.
>
>We much show the university, the state, and the country that the 
>arts ARE important!
