Hello everyone. My family and a guest had planned to attend homecoming '11. We had updated our dawgs wardrobe, got some face tatoos, and new flags and magnets for the vehicle. Our plans were changed on halloween morning when my husband Todd had a heart attack! Thanks be to God he survived! The staff at Macon's Medical Center called his attack a "Widow Maker." We're so grateful that he's back home now. He was released on Thursday the 3rd. So on Saturday we donned our dawgwear and cheered from our living room. Later that night we boo'd & hissed at the officials for giving Bama's game away to L.S.U. (Thankfully no angina presented during the games!) While we hate that we had to miss performing pre-game and visiting with each of you, we are just so very grateful that things are as well with Todd as they are. Please keep my husband in your prayers as he recovers. He had one blockage and it was 100%. So a stint was put in. On a happier note, congratulations to fellow Milledgevillian and clarinet player Mrs. Reagan on your continued reign as "Redcoat Royalty!" Our son Collin is now 12. He plays trumpet and baritone in the Oak Hill Middle School Band and played in the pep band for the Middle School football games. He is really loving the low brass! He's getting excited about the Christmas music they are learning. I am blessed to still be working at Central State Hospital's Craig Nursing Center as a Music Therapist. Todd is a union Iron Worker. He hopes to be able to return to work sometime after Thanksgiving. What's really cool is the fact that Todd with his union crew actually built the Luce Heart Center of Macon's Medical Center. He built it and the staff there saved his life. God is good!

Christina Sego	2000s	Clarinet	8/31/2011 12:59:38 AM
This past summer I began my graduate degree in counseling education at Georgia Southern University, and in August I moved to Statesboro. I am taking classes part time on campus and attempting to find work during the day. I will hopefully complete my master's degree in December of 2014, if not earlier. Other than school, I am just trying to stay busy and be with friends/family as much as possible.
Mallory Sosebee		Alto Saxophone	8/15/2011 8:34:08 PM
Hello! My name is Mallory, and I am thrilled to be a new member of the UGA Redcoat Band Alumni Association! I played the alto sax from 2006-2009, all four years in my undergrad. I met a lot of great people in the band and still keep in touch with as many band members as possible! While at the University, I majored in Early Childhood Education, and am now entering my second year of teaching in a metro-Atlanta elementary school. It is truly a blessing...I have a wonderful, smart and enthusiastic group of second-graders this year, and they are learning about the Dawgs in our little bits of spare time! Currently, I am working on my Master's degree in Early Childhood Education once more, from UGA....I commute to campus once a week to take care of classes. I look forward to meeting more fellow alumni members at Homecoming this season....football is here!! Go Dawgs!

Roy Denton	1990s2000s	Trumpet	6/30/2011 11:43:58 AM
I only spent a few seasons marching with the band, but it has always been my best memories from college. I finished degrees from Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY in church music and a Master's in Orchestral Conducting from UT (don't hate me for it, I would NEVER cheer for the Vols!). I am the Worship Leader at a large church in Chattanooga, TN. I have been married for almost 11 years, and we have three beautiful children. Our favorite time of the year is fall when we arrange our entire schedule around being able to watch our Dawgs play!

This May, I graduated from Georgia State University College of Law, and my first child (Lucy) was born on June 1--it's been a great month! I will be working for a federal judge for the next two years before practicing intellectual property law at a firm in Atlanta.
Chip Bush	1980s	Euphonium	6/2/2011 4:48:26 PM
Hey fellow Redcoats! Still in the Atlanta area, celebrating 21 years with The Coca-Cola Company in July. Veda and I will celebrate our 19th anniversary in July as well. We have three children. Leah (15) is a rising sophomore at Hillgrove High School, and won the Colorguard "Rookie of the Year" at the band banquet last month. Amy (8) and Chaz (7) will be at Kemp Elementary next year in the Powder Springs area. We attend Burnt Hickory Baptist Church where we have been for two years now, and I can look down from the choir loft and see Clenton and Denise (Kilgore) Keasler in the orchestra! Redcoat friends truly are lifetime friends! Find me on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/chip.bush ... would love to reconnect! Go Dawgs!
