Dear Auburn Fans,
If you are one of the true Auburn fans who has enjoyed the Auburn University Marching Band over the years, then we need your help. The band has always been led by a group of talented Majorettes, beautiful in their full-sequined uniforms and white marching boots with their hair bouncing as they marched down the field with their signature high stepping march.
The Auburn Majorettes have a long and proud heritage that has been a true joy to the Auburn faithful. The Majorettes have always led the band at football games, pep rallies, parades and on other special occasions. They are truly an Auburn Institution.
The Majorettes will not be leading the band much longer. The Majorettes are being integrated into a group along with the flag girls and pom pom/kickline dancers who were added last year. In an effort to
minimize the alumni outcry, the plan is being phased in. The stated plan for next year is for all uniforms to be the same, and all shoes to be the same (no more white boots). Only four majorettes are marching in front
of the band, with the other four marching in the back. At pep rallies and in the stands, the majorettes only use pom poms (not their batons) and are grouped with the flag girls and dancers, not being allowed to have their own identity.
The Athletics Department, who funds the band, has asked for input from the fans, so please visit our website, and then by clicking on the e-mail link please let the decision-makers at Auburn know that you do not support the phase-out of this great Auburn tradition. In addition to the e-mail links, we have included a place for you to sign and voice your opinion.
Thank you for your help in saving this beloved Auburn tradition, and in preserving their great legacy.
WAR EAGLE!!!
