Hello all,
First of all, thank you for your support on this issue! This has grown faster and bigger than we thought possible. Thanks to the efforts of some incredible individuals, we have been able to schedule meetings with both Athletic Marketing and an assistant Athletic director. We hope to come to an agreement that would let us perform at home games for the rest of the season. We would like to make clear that it is planned that we will participate in post-season performances.
In the meantime, we ask that if you would like to participate further, please send emails to the following people. Their emails are publicly available, and are in positions of authority to make these decisions.
TO MAKE THINGS CLEAR! We are not asking for attacks on BYU, or the leaders of BYU. DO NOT email these people with hate, disrespect, or bullying. That is not our way. We simply call for those affected by this decision to share their point of view in a civil and respectful manner.
Shane Reese, President of BYU, shane_reese@byu.edu
Keith Vorkink, Vice President over Athletics, keith_vorkink@byu.edu
Tom Holmoe, Athletic Director, heather_wadley@byu.edu
David Almodava, Director of Athletic Marketing, david_almodova@byu.edu
Brian Santiago, Assistant Director of Athletics, brian_santiago@byu.edu
Finally, we want to thank those that have donated money to this petition on change.org, but we ask that please DO NOT give more money on this platform. That money does not go to the BYU band, and is just used to "promote" the petition. Many people have donated already, and we feel that that is already too much.
Thank you for your support,
-The Members of the BYU ROC Band.
