5:33 PM: Renee realizes that she can't collaboratively edit a post. so ANARCHY!
5:34 PM: has renee been paying attention to the board meeting? arguable tbh.
renee thinks this is what being a lame duck president is like. except shes not president. so whelp.
5:36 PM: board discusses playing Saturday morning of fling. we're all going to join samba. GOOD LUCK WITH THIS MESS NEW BOARD
joshua echoes softly from the cheeseman. not softly. very, VERY loudly.
david: "haters will say its fake"
5:38 PM: renee sits down at the press table for the first time. her butt nestles comfortably into the shitty band room chairs. she feels like shes in a dream she didn't remember having.... shes... home at last.....
5:39 PM: JSS begins playing cantina band. this isn't BONEGIVING gosh darn it.
theres like 5 people in the band room rn. what a squad.
Greer: "guys.... stop" yes please. seconded.
5:41 PM: THE PRESS HATS ARE HERE. my head feels so comfortable. it was the uniform I was born to wear.
emily decides to cut JSS out of the hat crew. thats what you get for hogging the twitter. I CAN'T BE TAMED.
5:42 PM: koosh - don't get too comfortable! we're going to clear the room and check you all in! wow we're so ~exclusive~
5:44 PM: koosh "when it came down, it came down. no fucking around, it was joshua" re coordination among old chops for playing joshua and not sounding "like shit". i'm calling bullshit, I love the echoes of joshua that emanate to through the band room on a daily basis. i'd call it music to my ears, but that might be a stretch.
5:47 PM: john mcgahay walks in with a slide whistle. this is what happens when you don't get good standing folks.
5:48 PM: ben takes a shitty picture of renee and emily in the hats.
FOLLOR4FOLLOW @pbdecides. but this blog will better just sayin.
jss reminds jenna that the penn band is not her home. cruel.
5:50 PM: aaron walks in in a suit! SO H*CKIN DAPPER! suit updates: he has a purple tie. and a sick watch. red lining on the inside of the suit? his shoes are very shiny too.
jss is telling me about his sweet and sour chicken. i care so much.
5:56 PM: renee is mocked for taking a selfie. fair. jss is still in search of rendy's twitter.
5:51 PM: everyone is kicked out. SWEET SWEET SILENCE! hahaha jk that's a fuckin lie.
5:52 PM: renee is convinced no one is reading the blog. if you read this, give me a hug at the end and whisper "i care" softly into my ear
5:53 PM: ben misremembers lord glozions board position. so washed up.
5:56 PM: renee put the last comment in the wrong place whoops. ming says hes excited! i am too pal! miriam says she read 2 of the past years election, go you.
5:59 PM: jackson accuses me of not following him back on twitter. I DON'T HAVE A TWITTER I JUST HAVE A BLOG
6:00 PM: def not everyone is here. i can hear aaron explaining how we can (painfully) extend this election by dissenting every vote. how about..... no
6:01 PM: ming takes a staged photo of us blogging...... but all you behind the scenes readers will know I was ACTUALLY BLOGGING DURING IT MUAHAHAHA
6:01 PM: emily is nervous, so renee volunteers as the voice of the people.
cathy to john "are you running for something?" john: "no!"
nick corona has a new haircut (i think). if you're reading this confirm or deny. or maybe i just didn't see you for a few days, if so sorry pal.
6:03 PM: the line at the door is LORGE! it's almost as big as my dog.
more fashion commentary: i like ana's poncho.
koosh asks who doesn't have a ballot. board dissents. he SHUNS us. rude.
nick cru gives me a donut. ily
6:05 PM nick cru "this has the potential to be quick" wouldn't that be nice, but I believe in the band's power of shenanigans.
6:07 PM: whoever said the press was dying in america was a damn fool.
6:09 PM: nice.
but actually laura begins announcement.
YAY CHRISTMAS VILLAGE SIGN UP FOR THE FORM! YAY SECRET SNOWFLAKE! but like actually go.
emily whispers "last job as treasurer"
emma hypes the fanfare event. also a good cause! candace is dying of laughter. GIRL LISTEN!!!!!
laura hypes council. emily and renee WOOOOOO. it was very dissonant, nick cru says it was a perfect tritone. i have no idea what that means.
open council meeting december fourth. be there or be square!
richard announces shake shack quizzo. NICE. social calendar! good things!
6:13 PM: greer asks if theres any questions. richard: "any ducks?"
greer: "laura what do you do" laura: "everything?" she said other stuff but i didn't hear cuz it was too quiet.
olivia makes a sassy comment abut not being able to make nominations from the floor cuz we're sitting.
emily's speech begins!
serving as treasurer was an honor.
she got to know herself and many other people better!
she realized she wanted a board position after the 2016 election (not band). cheesy bread followed. band rom was a happy place!
emily is here way more than she probably should be (tru)
her goal is to make everyone feel safe! she's also bought an unhealthy amount of oreos (is that safe though?)
previous pres have promised to open up communication, she will too. "band is family"
but also, "it's just band" and "band is a safe place"
games are important, but she's been humbled as well. work together as a family, and we can be better!
top down - happier board, happier band. sounds corny, but tru.
YAY EMILY GREAT SPEECH! <3
questions now!
laura: she wants to know your strategy for approaching her duties and fulfilling her vision.
emily..... so your question is what am i going to do as president?
laura: no, how are you going to lean on other leadership bodies.
emily: she already works with a lot of council positions.
jackie: did you talk to previous presidents?
emily: yes! and she learned how to control burnout.
ben: you will get a lot of complaints.
emily: yup I already do. she can tell the difference between friends complaining and real issues. she will continue to work on it.
jss: how to pick bandos for a plane. how to handle uncertainty?
emily: service, instrumentation, and seniority. we spent a while doing this for LA!
renee asks an easy question which is apparently not easy.
emily says the cheesy bread thing again!
emily is acclaimed. greer: "i guess you're it!"
greer: "john, what do you do!" emily immediately takes over the twitter.
jss: " to the greater penn community, the vp is the most important position." board worries about a lot of things, ie. making sure ppl get fed. but the shows!!!!!
cathy nominates hannah and then immediately rescinds it.
aaron speaks! jackie yells how sharp he is. HE HITS THE DAB!
jackson: "have my babies"
aaron wonders what words will be moving enough for acclimation. he quotes squidward. GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
he references the japanese word for grits and im sad i missed it.
he wants us to pretend he's a fireman.
emily gives him a standing ovation.
jackie: did u talk to previous vps
aaron: no but he lives in the same house.
he wont tell us his favorite joke. or his worst joke.
jk there's a knock knock joke and its real bad.
olivia: favorite nic cage character?
aaron: con air. right answer.
jss has a real question. what are you gonna do to improve the band when it's not football season?
aaron: working with the rest of board.
emily: who is our audience
aaron: we can't control that.
renee: how will you handle being censored?
aaron: we've already had to do that, but you can write funny shows that are appropriate.
spencer: will you ever do the triangle show again
I DIDN'T HEAR HIS ANSWER
jenna: how to communicate well with DMs.
aaron: having the DMs there is important! shoutout to richard. and starting in advance.
richard: asks if aaron will try to slide into the dms.
aaron silently shakes his head in disgust.
aaron is acclaimed! YAY AARON!!!!! greer: "you're stuck with it"
next is treasurer! you write a long budget for sac. they sometimes give you money. then semi. then uniforms and dues and more. need to be meticulous and willing to do work on your own.
aaron gives a shoutout to rendall. ryan is nominated but denies.
rendy speaks! hsssssss
"its great to see everyone back from break" aaron "you too"
band has had a big impact on rendy's life. like meeting AJ?
he joined has a sophomore, he THINKS jk knows that its a group he could love.
he wants to be treasurer because he loves money. #wharton. the crowd hisses. he eats money, only snacks on it. he cried in second grade when he found out money trees aren't real and this is motivating his speech.
he's willing to work dilligently!
jackie asks the same question
rendy says that talking to emily helped a lot.
emily talks about having those tough conversations. how will you handle that?
rendy says establishing trust in board is important.
ben: name 5 freshman that aren't in your section
rendy: he does i think?
renee: what made you change your mind?
rendy: talking to emily and koosh! you have more leeway with your schedule.
candace: who would take your place
rendy: that's a depressing question
aaron: isn't the real treasure the friendships we made along the way.
david asks about band pants. emily assures that you do. but actually how do you make sure people get uniforms that fit.
rendy wil work on it.
rendy has experience working with SAC and friends on there! nice.
olivia wonders how rendy will do being cold blooded at band events in the winter.
ben: give an example of accepting when everyone else is wrong but implementing it
rendy: when people say taylor swift sucks!
ming: how to keep people who find paying dues atypical.
rendy: don't single anyone out, establish trust. seem approachable.
we seem to have acclaimed. opposed? a small hiss.
renee does things ! she was almost forgotten.
zabryna's video plays.
apparently both her and rendy didn't want to join band as freshman. WOW.
she does things like CAs and sleader.
she thinks that the technical stuff of being secretary is less important than contributing your voice on board - as secretary some concern its literally all technical.
jackie: have you talked to previous people.
zabryna: she talked to me.
max: where are you
zabryna: buenos aires!
ben: how are you going to adjust to getting back into board.
zabryna: shes got time to prep!
laura: notes that everyone else is a sax.
WAIT WHAT
how will you deal with that and make sure everyone else is heard
zabryna: she lives with them so shes experienced!
renee: name 5 freshman who aren't in your section
jk: what's your plan for getting to know everyone when you get back?
zabryna says shes friendly! say hi!
emily asks about also being DM and the relationship board should have with conduct.
zabryna: she thinks that she could add a new perspective on board
nick: have you considered becoming a sax
zabryna nopes the fuck out.
jss: everyone in band has a unique perspective. what's the bands mission?
zabryna: foster a community of individuals and make it a space for people who want to be here casually too! within penn, we want to represent the penn community.
ben: scotts middle name?
greer: good question, not fair.
jeanette: how will you deal with half of board living together? aka compartmentalization.
zabryna: emily and her wouldn't take things home.
we done. she's acclaimed! ya did it zabryna!!!!!!
renee announces her exhibit. come see it! you'll hear about it again!
emilys giving wristbands so if you're not 21 you can come. candace: "sounds like our president"
jenna: CA auditions are in 2 weeks.
cathy: globemed sweater sale!!!!
nik: drumline game of assassin! they have become too close and want no more friendship. it's for operation santa claus. i can't get more kids but i can get more money (HSSSSSS)
candace wants to know if we can interview him like board elections.
there's a real time google doc apparently.
nick cru: he swing dances! who knew! be louder than sig nu! beta alpha nu delta rules.
steven: jazz combos is also next thursday! food again.
HORSES ASS ENSUES!
wonder who it will be.
scott what's the difference? he shrugs.

jss nominates the chop section for joshuaing band march

Renee: all of my thoughts are on the internet
Emily: I can't because I am nervous
Renee: It's okay I will be the voice of the people.
Overhears Cathy asking John M. if he is running for anything....John denies but stay tuned for what John will do later in the night....

Literally half of the room is eating chinese food, and I am hungry. Someone send help, or chinese food.
Confirmed sighting: John M. has a slide whistle

Hannah: tell us your best joke
Aaaron: Weell its the aristocrats and it has a lot of curse words so I can't
Olive: Fav Nick Cage character?
Aaron: something from Con Air
JSS: He has the real question....you don't do much except write shows, what are you going to do within those 8 months?
Aaron: A big part was "being there when board can't".
Emily: Who is our audience?
Aaron: We don't know because we don't know we can buy a ticket to our game. We have such a presence so its really the entire community.
Renee: There's a discrepancy between what we think is funny and then what we can say. What are you going to do if we write something great and then it gets shot down?
Aaron: It's definitely happened in the past (this year with Brown) so its definitely possible to rewrite that quickly. We just gotta work to gather
Jenna: Working with DM....how will he be the best at communicating ?

Treasurer:
Candidates=Rendy
Emily talks about the importance of bookkeeping as treasurer.
Melanie nominates Ryan, Ryan declines.
Rendy gets up to speak
6:34pm
Rendy realized today that the Penn Band has meant so much to me. Band was important to him in high school but its a lot different here. That's why he didn't join until his sophomore year. Once he joined he realized that it could grow to be a group he loves-and it has (yay us). He is running because he wants to continue the hard work that Emily did and he really loves money. He dreams and eats money.....(Emily is freaking out). He made a money tree in second grade and cried when dollar bills didn't grow from it. He thinks he is pretty good at asking people for money. He has compared himself to Mona from Parks and Rec (Note: The Office is much better). On a serious note: he is willing to work really hard for us.
Jackie: Has he talked to previous treasurers?
Rendy: Yeah I talked to Emily and we talked about the time commitment
Emily: This year especially has good for helping people with dues/semi. How are you going to have those conversations and establish privacy?
Rendy: Establishing trust-we need to be private and that only Rendy will know about it!
Ben: Name 5 freshmen not in your section
Rendy: Ryan, Kevin, Saloni, Matt F., Melannie Jay
Renee: We are both biochem #goyouguys! How are you going to balance school and dental school interviews?
Rendy: Again he spoke to Em and has gone over the time commitment with him.
David: Band pants disaster-he never had band pants that didn't fit well and he just got better ones!
Rendy: I'm pretty organized and I will do my best
Cathy: do you have any experience with working with SAC?
Rendy: Yep I have with other groups. I also have friends on SAC
Olivia: I know that snakes are cold blooded-how are you going to work through coming to band in the winter?
Rendy declines to answer
Ben: Sometimes on Board you guys make decisions that you might not agree with. What will you do if that happens? Or okay give an example?
Rendy: I mean everyone thinks taylor swift sucks and I don't
Okay voting by acclimation.
Rendy Fernandez is our new Treasurer!
Secretary
Ben nominates Spencer Fox
Spencer: FUCK NO
Only nominee is Zabryna who is oversees...no one is nominated
Greer forgot to ask Renee what she did
Renee-writes lots of emails, links that no one clicks and SHE WORKS WITH EVERYONE
Ben: RENEE-do you take attendance?
Renee: shit yeah I do
6:43pm
Video of Zabs plays
She misses making chaos and noise (they are the same?)
She is introducing herself from across the globe.
She wriggles into band pants that don't fit.
She was sleader of the mighty chop section and that she was also CA.
She feels that technical skills are the least important: ITS ALL ABOUT FAMILY. we need to propel the band forward.
LAURA IS CALLING HER TO TAKE QUESTIONS
6:46pm
Jackie: Did you talk to previous secretaries?
Zabs: She spoke to Renee and explained her duties and roles-what was most challenging and sustaining communication?
Max: Where are you?
Zabs: Argentina!
Jackson: Why is the file name Zabs
Zabs: ask emily
Ben: Coming back from abroad isn't always easy...coming to board might not be easy?
Zabs: She was challenged in other ways and is mentally ready to tackle Penn!!!!!!
Laura: So the rest of the board members are all SAXES!!!!!! will that be a problem ?
Zabs: I have experience with them: I LIVE WITH TWO OF THEM (yay Candace and em)
She will speak to other sections
Renee: NAME 5 PEOPLE WHO ARENT IN YOUR SECTION
Actualy question: one of the most important things was taking attendance and knowing EVERYONE!!!!! how will you get to know everyone?
Zabs: I'm real social and can go out and say hi ! Feel free to say hi.
Emily: How do you feel about DM & board? Are you gonna do both?
Zabs: She wants to audition for DM in the future and she wants to maintain both. Board and DM have different duties.
Nick: Have you considered becoming a saxophone?
Zabs: she is true and true brass!!!!
JSS: everyone in the band has a unique perspective and as an organization we have to think what we want to focus on. What is our mission?
Z: Band's purpose is to foster a community of individuals. Within the band itself so everyone feels included and make band a family (take a shot) and also so people can just play music! Broader...within Penn represent Penn community so you don't get swooped up and actively showing the Pride and love of Penn.
6:51pm
Ben: What is Scott's middle name?
Zabs: I don't know......
Greer: trick question not fair
Jeanette: HI ZABRYNA....you talked about potential of DM and Board...can you compartmentalize? You would have half of board living together?
Z: being able to separate board duties and living together with Em?
Em and I would have a good understand and not to take things outside. This is our duty its not personal ever.
