Budget cuts will effect every department at the University, and Tiger Band is no exception. A broadcast e-mail from the Chancellor’s Office said there might be smaller Tiger Band in the future. ‘The size and sound is what makes the band powerful,’ Drum Major Rob Dowie said. ‘No one does TigerBand for the pay.’ Jane Cassidy, director of the school of music, said the department will do everything they can to protect it. ‘If we’re going to take a major budget cut, it is unrealistic to think that it won’t be spared,’ Cassidy said. ‘Tiger Band is not being targeted.’
