2013 Southerners Alumni Reunion

Hello Southerners Alumni!

It is almost that time again…. The Southerners Alumni Reunion!  We are all looking forward to everyone’s return on November 8-9.  As you know, last year we mentioned that it was Dr. Walter’s 89th birthday - - well, this year on October 19th he will turn 90 years old.  We would like to turn this year’s reunion into a HUGE birthday celebration for him.  At the Friday night banquet, we plan to have several special activities to honor him, one being a “Through the Years” video of the early years of The Southerners and Marching Ballerinas including Dr. Walter’s era as the director.  We would like to ask that EVERY alumnus possible send a birthday card to Dr. Walters with a special note written inside recalling some of your fondest memories.  We are going to take all of the cards (hopefully hundreds) and place them in a big wrapped box and present it to Dr. Walters at halftime.  Please send your card to:


Jacksonville State University Alumni House
Attention: Dr. David L. Walters
700 Pelham Road N.
Jacksonville, AL 36265

As you prepare for the weekend, you can download your music from the following web addresses:
(Traditional Music) http://www.marchingsoutherners.org/alumni/music.php

(Spirit of the Bull)  http://www.marchingsoutherners.org/music/     

Please download the following pieces for the halftime performance:

Star’s Fell
Salvation is Created
Quilting Party (Featuring the Alumni Marching Ballerinas)
Southerners Special
Dixie Woodwinds
Spirit of the Bull (Featuring the Alumni Color Guard)
JSU Fight Song

“Spirit of the Bull” and the “JSU Fight Song” will be played jointly with the current Southerners. (I can not begin to tell you how excited the current Southerners are to perform with the Alumni…. especially the freshmen!)

I hope that you all will be able to attend.  Together, let’s make Dr. Walter’s 90th Birthday one of his most memorable!

See you on November 8th!

Ken
