I know this is all about Huskie sports and I am a NIU Grad from 1987. But, I need some NIU Sports fans support.

I am currently a volunteer with the Oregon Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps.  Wait... Before you ignor this I just need a few minutes of your time.  Afterall, our game is not until Friday.

Drum and Bugle corps is a musical and athletic event all combined into one. Our members, who pay to be on this team work on the football field 12 hours a day and compete in world championships.

We are in the running for a grant for $100,000.00. We need votes on Facebook to get this grant that is available to non-profits with an annual budget under $1,000,000.

Please go to www.oregoncrusaders.org to get to the voting area.  You must be on facebook to vote.  Please help this youth performance arts group out and win the $100K.

if you do not think this is a sport type event, please go to youtube and search for the Oregon Crusaders drum and bugle corps. They run around and play instruments all at the same time. It is quite amazing.  Several of the NIU Huskie marching band members have marched drum corps and all I ask is a few minutes today. Today only to cast a vote for the Oregon Crusaders.

Thanks and Go Huskies, Beat EMU.
