From performing high-volume rhythm and blues, to playing flawless, show-stopping classics, from popular hip hop dance moves to precision drill steps, the Southern University Marching Band is without question a spectacular force. Redefining college band style, the SU band�s success is measured by excitement of its vast and diverse audiences.

Growing Towards a Cure !! BELIEVE
 
The International Rice Festival Association will be selling Pink Breast Cancer Awareness T-Shirts this year and donating $5.00 off every t-shirt sold to the Miles Perret Cancer Center Services in Lafayette.

This organization assists all cancer patients going through chemotherapy and is a local organization.

The Acadia Parish Schools have agreed to send fliers home with every child to help us not only sell the pink t-shirt but our poster t-shirt as well. In the past several businesses and financial institutions have helped to sell our souvenirs and this year is no different.

The Crowley Fire Department has also joined forces with us this year and will help sell T-Shirts for us.

Hope that you are ready and willing to help. Unfortunately, we all know someone that has fought the battle and we know firsthand how the Miles Perret Center does not discriminate.
