Fund-raising efforts
fall short for band
The University Marching
Band will not attend
the Macy’s Thanksgiving
Day Parade on Nov. 26
By Amy Goldhammer
Oregon Daily Emerald
When the parade passes by
this November, the Ducks will
not be strutting their stuff.
The University of Oregon
Marching Band had to decline its
invitation to march in the famous
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade
because it did not raise enough
money in time.
The Oregon Marching band
was one of twelve bands invited
to march in the parade.
Out of the
$250,000 dol
lars the band
needed, it
raised only
$6,000 of it,
said Sid Haton,
University as
sociate director
of bands. The
band wasn’t
even able to
make deposits
on plane reservations, he said.
“I think the mistake that 1
made was in trying to raise mon
ey without a fund-raising mecha
nism in place,” Haton said.
The band had anticipated to
raise about $100,000 each month
of the summer, he said. However,
the plan wasn’t successful.
“We had people who really
busted a gut trying to raise mon
ey,” Haton said.
The marching band received
moral support from the athletic
department, but the University
was not responsible to help pay
for any of the expenses, Haton
said.
“It is nobody’s responsibility
but ours,” he said. “Everyone on
campus agreed we were on our
own.”
The band will not be able to go
next year because bands are al
lowed only one application every
four years, Haton told the Regis
ter Guard.
Major donors and contributors
were sent cards explaining the
situation and offering to return
the donation or distribute it to
other need in the University’s
School of Music, he said.
Although the decision to with
drawal from the parade has put a
damper on the marching band,
the members are now looking for
ward toward other upcoming op
portunities, Haton said.
“We have an exciting group
with some amazing abilities,” he
said.
The marching band is the
(( It is nobody’s
responsibility but ours.
Everyone on campus
agreed we were on our
own.
Sid Haton
associate director of bands
largest the Uni
versity has had
in recent years
with a great
number of re
turning class
members and a
huge incoming
freshmen class,
Haton said.
During the
first part of the
year, the band
. will locus some ol its energy to
ward alumni, he said.
“We will be doing some more
formal things, trying to promote a
sense of tradition,” Haton said.
As well as the traditional and
formal aspects, the marching
band will be livening up the sta
dium during half-times, he said.
“All our shows are built
around the blockbuster summer
music,” Haton said. “This will
give us a chance to play some
pop tunes and music people will
recognize.”
The marching band is expect
ing the Ducks to be invited to a
bowl and are looking forward to
attending that, he said.
"We are trying not to dwell on
the fact we can’t go,” Haton said.
“But, there are other things to
look forward to,”
