Staff Writer and Music Enthusiast Maya Corral makes the case for why CUMB should join the club(s) providing music grams to the masses. Join her on this chaotic journey.

Valentine’s Day is TODAY, and many clubs are celebrating by offering candy, baked goods, self-care, and even music grams. However, there’s a really important on-campus organization that I feel is missing from this list, and that is the CU Marching Band. While some people hate Columbia’s Marching Band, including my friend who called Barnard’s Public Safety on Orgo Night, CUMB holds a special place in many of our hearts.

I would literally pay $20 to piss off my friend who called Barnard Public Safety. It would bring me, and I’m sure many others, so much joy to hear loud, marching band renditions of “Seven Nation Army” and “Roar Lion Roar” right outside her dorm room window. All I’m asking for is some CUMBers to take this task on.

This music gram would be perfect both for your friends who had a traumatizing experience with Orgo Night and their biology final,and your trumpet-obsessed partner. CUMB provides something for everyone (except people who hate joy and fun, like my friend), whether that be their political involvement, Orgo Night, or their super fun tunes. We can all agree that their music gram would be entertaining and enjoyable for everyone involved. And, I’m sure Columbia’s administration would somehow find a problem with it too.

Note: Some members of the CUMB are on Bwog. They were not involved in writing this post.
