Setting: MOB on sideline...

Announcer: The MOB - that manic mass of mobile musicians, celebrating its twentieth year of being, well, the MOB, and celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Show Assistants - those cardboard cut-out cut-ups who give us the "action" that keeps you wondering just what are they doing... led by tenth anniversary director Dr. Ken Dye, joins with the fifth anniversary gathering of the Alumni Band to present...

Action: MOB scatters to ...

Formation: Trombone

Announcer: The MOB's history includes an on-going communication problem with rural conference opponents. If we said something nice like: "We salute the Aggie's development of an extraordinary hybrid that grows succotash on one plant." The Aggies would hear: "Blah-blah blah-blah Aggies blah-blah-blah-blah-blah suck blah-blah-blah..."

The script may not always come across - but the music carries the show, and here's our Alumni vocalist - Georgianna Young - to prove it.

Music: Cornet Man (vocal)

Action: not much action
