Want a free trip to the NCAA tournament? Can you play the drums?

Phoenix Pep Band Director Eric Hansen of the UW-Green Bay music faculty is advertising a unique opportunity: the chance to be the band’s drum-set player for the spring 2012 semester. The student who successfully auditions will get a paid stipend and the chance to enjoy exciting Phoenix Athletics action. An NCAA trip for the Phoenix women’s basketball team isn’t guaranteed, of course, but it appears increasingly likely. Pep Band drummers have been making regular spring-break trips to the Big Dance for more than a decade. Know of a student (music major or not) who might be a candidate?
