    <p><strong>Q: What is the DDDB and why is it important?</strong></p>
    <p><strong>Paul:</strong> The pep band [also known as the DDDB] is a musical and marching ensemble sponsored by Athletics that provides its members with a chance to perform fun tunes, become engaged with school spirit at UMBC sporting events and even earn some money through part-time employment opportunities.</p>
    <p><strong>Matt:</strong> The mission is to support the Athletic Department and the university through music and spirit. Whether it’s 20 degrees and snowing during one of the winter basketball games, or 100 degrees with the sun blazing during the Catonsville and Arbutus 4th of July parades, you’ll experience unbridled enthusiasm and exceptional playing from this band.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: Why do you (and others) continue to play even as alumni?</strong></p>
    <p><strong>Paul:</strong> The UMBC Spirit Group [band, drumline, cheerleaders, dance team, fever retrievers and tumbling squad] sponsors an alumni day each year. It’s a great way to connect with past and present members of the group – and to reconnect with a group that played an important role in one’s undergraduate/graduate career.</p>
    <p><strong>Matt:</strong> Getting to hop on the drumset and play music with the [UMBC Spirit] Group is one of my favorite parts of the season. The Down and Dirty Dawg band is like a big extended family.</p>
    <p><strong><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/dawgband_gt111913.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/dawgband_gt111913.jpg" alt="DawgBand_GT111913" width="448" height="333" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>Q: Why is the support of alumni and the rest of the UMBC community so important?</strong></p>
    <p><strong>Matt:</strong> It’s amazing to see the connection between current members, alumni, parents, faculty, and the community as a whole. The support means the world to the band – and helps validate what we’re doing!</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What are some of the benefits of staying involved as alumni?</strong></p>
    <p><strong>Matt:</strong> The best part about being a DDDB alum is that you get to keep playing with us!</p>
    <p><strong>Paul:</strong> Having the opportunity to volunteer my time for an organization that I strongly believe in has been truly amazing.  I sincerely hope UMBC is always able to maintain its reputation of having the best pep band and most spirit in America East!</p>

<Title>Student Org Advisor contact information</Title>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hello everyone,<div><br></div>
    <div>Based on some suggestions that were made during the Advisor Roundtable meeting that we had a few weeks ago, I am providing a list of all student organization advisors via this google spreadsheet:  <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmI-RormG1n_dHB3aWxwWUVkelNhNVRBWkhvYThaLWc#gid=0" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmI-RormG1n_dHB3aWxwWUVkelNhNVRBWkhvYThaLWc#gid=0</a>
    </div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>If you can update the spreadsheet with the office/department that you're affiliated with and with how many years you've been an advisor that would be great. A few new advisors would really benefit from having access to this list to reach out to more seasoned advisors for advice and support. I think some of our seasoned advisors are such a great resource to our community and can provide helpful insights. </span></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If for some reason you're uncomfortable with your name being on this list please let me know and I can remove it. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>At the end of the fall semester I will upload this list under the "documents" tab on the myUMBC page. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Again, if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding your role as an advisor please let me know!</div>
