Plumbing underslab rough-in work was completed ahead of the concrete work. Electrical underslab rough-in work also completed ahead of the concrete slabs.

New 1xbet best casino website Hall Promo

Thoughts from Students and Staff:

"Everybody loves a home, and everybody deserves a home. This would be ours. A facility like this would help us recruit and retain 1xbet best casino website members and staff. We are the only Power Five conference school without a designated home for the marching 1xbet best casino website . This facility, as we envision it, would be a symbol of respect and pride in our organization from our alumni, K-State staff, donors and community supporters.” -Dr Frank Tracz

"Having an indoor space that allows us to have rehearsals would mean never having to guess where we 1xbet best casino website be for a rehearsal on a rainy day in Kansas. Students would know that they have a safe space, no matter the weather, for their instruments, gear and for themselves. So many times, the directors have to wait until an hour before rehearsal to decide what the best option is for that day and hope we can be in a big enough space for the entire ensemble. This facility would ensure that we can keep doing what we are doing at a high level for our university.” - Allegra Fisher, graduate assistant for K-State Bands

"Having an indoor space right next to Memorial Stadium would be incredible. I know this would ease a lot of the pressure 1xbet best casino website staff and 1xbet best casino website members have in carrying large speakers, field markers, first-aid equipment, drum major stands and instruments back and forth from McCain. 1xbet best casino website rehearses three times a week, and if the time spent transporting things was eliminated, we could be so productive and continue to use that time to work hard.” - Ashton Thomas, Classy Cats Alumni

"Having indoor and outdoor rehearsal spaces right next to each other would save a lot of time and money. We could spend time working on the music indoors, all together in one place, and then quickly transition outside to work on our marching skills. 1xbet best casino website would save us the time it takes to walk from McCain to Memorial Stadium.” - Brett Butler, graduate assistant for K-State Bands

"To all our donors, every musically involved student at K-State thanks you. The gift you may give us 1xbet best casino website not only benefit the marching band students, it 1xbet best casino website support the entire School of Music, Theatre and Dance. Our ensembles and classes have overwhelmed the capacity of our one music building. Realistically, we only have two major ensemble rehearsal spaces to somehow host more than 15 different groups each week. With an entire building dedicated to The Pride, classrooms and space in McCain Auditorium 1xbet best casino website be free to host other ensembles, music classes, community programs and performers for all K-State students to enjoy. This project is the permanent mark of your love and selflessness to our music program that 1xbet best casino website last for decades.” - Meredith Casey, '21

"The marching 1xbet best casino website is a family to all who join. A facility for the 1xbet best casino website , one that allows us to rehearse, to safely store our gear in a clean facility and be together as a group displays the pride we already feel for our 1xbet best casino website . The 1xbet best casino website works extraordinarily hard on every performance. We love our community, we love our school, and we love each other. This facility would ensure that we can keep doing what we are doing at a high level for our university.” - Allegra Fisher, graduate assistant for K-State Bands
