Toni DeVelin (UD Band Alum) and I woke up this morning to over 2000 signatures on the petition! It is a proud moment that over 2000 people can come together in exactly two days to protect a beloved part of UD which is our Flyer Pep Band. 

Presently, we decided to close out the petition today to be respectful to the University of Dayton’s Administration and see if tonight’s game is an improved environment for the Flyer Pep Band. We will keep everyone updated soon on further news and decisions and would appreciate feedback regarding tonight’s game.

Toni and I both sincerely thank everyone who signed, shared and commented on this petition. I personally am deeply grateful and feel extremely fortunate to be a member of the University of Dayton family. 

Thank you for supporting the Flyer Pep Band!
Good luck to the UD Basketball Team!  GO FLYERS!

Sincerely,

Pam Bayer, UD Alumni
