The group features seven university professors whose talents include drums, bass, vocals, saxophone, piano, trombone, trumpet & cornet.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2531/3183/1600/940744/band_playing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2531/3183/400/689851/band_playing.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />The Fall Semester's program was comprised of Latin jazz from the late forties through the sixties.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2531/3183/1600/85553/base.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2531/3183/320/99201/base.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />It may take a few extra-credit points to lure Norwich students away from an early Happy Hour on a Friday, but the Credit tonight really goes to SNAFU - tapping feet spread faster than Alumni Hall's plague of 2006!<br /><br />The military has "mandatory fun" ...<br /><br />The Corps has "Rent-an-Audience" (read as: FAP/TMT guest speakers & football games) ...<br /><br />And the professors have points-based culture. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2531/3183/1600/191885/jag_edit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/2531/3183/320/406426/jag_edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />The difference being no one snuck out of the latter.
