Just a few comments:

1.  Cardinal Coop, nice show.  The "little things" were quite clever, like the Dollies doing absolutely nothing of note in their "dance" routines during the Good LSJUMB Music;

2.  Can't help but be amused by smattering of applause from "shady siders" at outset of show, thinking that maybe . . . just maybe . . . their wish had come true;

3.  The line in script about LSJUMB trying to "reestablish some threshold of human decency" (or something along those lines) was quite amusing; and

4.  That may have been near nadir of LSJUMB participants - it looked like about 70 folks were on the field.  That is about 1/2 the "144" figure that we had back in the day (heck, there were tryouts for trumps my frosh year).  And make no mistake, numbers dramatically impact "the sound."  That's why I like band reunion games - the LSJUMB is about double its usual size and the sound (even with rusty participants) is much better than usual.  [I don't play at reunions - think only did at 5-year - so I can comment on sound from the stands].  Think band has been over 100 for several years now, but am not sure on this point.  It matters, irrespective of what you think about maturity, messaging, etc. of LSJUMB.
