This is one of the coolest things to happen at Rice this year!

Very nice.

It is a very nice space for the bands, particularly for not having been purpose-built as a band hall.
We have room, light, and vastly better acoustics (than the east practice gym, our previous purgatory).
The funds donated toward this naming effort are going toward further improving the acoustics.
Looking past the thread subject, the bands are extremely grateful for the efforts of Hutch and JK to make this space available for us, for funding the primary conversion from weight room to band hall, and to the Cox family and friends who had it built. The former designation of the building has been moved, with the blessing of the Cox family and donors, to the new fitness enhancement space within the Patterson EZF.

Fantastic! Hopefully the Mob will be great again.

Awesome in all respects!

Now if we could only find an alum named Smelley to sponsor the locker rooms...

Excuse me while I play with this thread, experimenting with a different way to post pictures. This is so much easier than tumblr's miserable interface...
