Keeping traditions is not always a good thing. I don't think that having the Tree choose its successor is a good method. I think the entire band should choose. I also don't have a problem with the Tree being "performed" by several different humans. This would allow the Tree to attend more events. If more than one identical Tree costume was available, the Tree could even make appearances at simultaneous events.

I do agree that the administration should let the Stanford band be the Stanford Band.

Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.
