<br />
The '''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad''', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays a snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />

==The Rant==<br />
The [[LGMB Rant]] is the official introduction of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad. It consists of a series of events, exploits, accolades, and descriptions strung together into a rhyming list that is performed by the Bnad Leedur (who is required to memorize the rant word for word) at major Bnad events such as [[Matriculation]], [[Cannonball]], and [[Gradball]]. At the end of the year, the Bnad Leedur may extend the rant to include significant events of their term.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded in 1949 by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as Godiva's Hymn.<br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<br />
The '''Triple-D Cup''' (known colloquially as the '''Ontario Cup''' or simply '''The Cup''') is an award trophy claimed by the winner of the Cannonball Run, an inter-school competition between the engineering societies of the University of Toronto, McMaster University, and the University of Waterloo.<br />
<br />
The competition is loosely based on the Alberta Cup and corresponding Cup Run, an event run between the engineering societies of the University of Alberta and University of Calgary.<br />
<br />
==Inception==<br />
In June 2010, drafting began for a document outlining the rules and regulations of a competition to promote spirit and inter-school rivalry. The document was established by the Presidents and VPs External of the three schools' engineering societies, along with the incoming and outgoing Presidents of the Engineering Student Societies' Council of Ontario. The resulting document, ''The Gran Turismo Accord'', was enacted by the three participating engineering societies on July 5, 2010.<br />
<br />
At least once per semester, the school in possession of The Cup must declare "The Cup is up!" and the other two schools must race to the host. After the first school arrives to claim The Cup, there is a three hour window in which the second school may arrive to challenge the claim. In this case, the winner of The Cup is then determined by a BOAT race using the host school's house rules.<br />
<br />
The trophy consists of a cup trophy atop a rectangular base. Three sides of the base are emblazoned with a logo representative of one of the three participating schools (the McMaster Fireball, the Skule logo, and the Waterloo EngSoc logo). During the fall of 2010, the cup itself was purchased from Twin Cities Trophies in Waterloo, while the base was built by Sean O'Neil and the logos were burnt into the wood by Scott Rankin, both from the University of Waterloo. The first Cannonball Run was announced the morning of October 30, 2010.<br />
<br />
==The Gran Turismo Accord==<br />
===Section 1 - Spirit and Motivation===<br />
:1. This accord defines a friendly competition between Engineering Student Societies, in the hopes of fostering spirit and community building. The purpose of this competition is to bring the respective Engineering Societies together in a common purpose, and to have some fun.<br />

:2. The Possessor is defined as the Society in possession of the Cup<br />
:3. The Contestants are defined as the Societies who are competing for the Cup.<br />
:4. The Keyword is defined as the phrase “The Cup is up!”, which initiates the competition.<br />
:5. The Office of the Possessor is defined as the Engineering Society Office.<br />
::1. McMaster University Engineering Society John Hodgins Engineering, Room 121B, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L7<br />
::2. University of Toronto Engineering Society Sandford Fleming Building, Room B740, 10 King’s College Road, Toronto, ON, M5S 3G4 <br />
::3. University of Waterloo Engineering Society Carl Pollock Hall Room 1327, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1<br />
:6. The Victor is defined as the Society who successfully claims the Cup.<br />
===Section 4 - Conduct of the Competition===<br />
:1. At any one point in time, one Society will be in possession of the Cup.<br />
:2. At least once per academic term, the competition must occur. The Possessor is in charge of initiating a race between the Contestants to claim possession of the Cup.<br />
:3. The competition is initiated when the Possessor contacts the Contestants, and declares the Keyword. The Possessor must declare the Keyword to all Contestants within fifteen (15) minutes of each other.<br />
:4. Upon the Cup being “up”, all Contestants must race to the Office of the Possessor. Both Contestants have 24 hours to reach the Office of the Possessor.<br />
:5. The first Contestant to reach the Possessor will claim possession of the Cup and be declared the Victor. However, if both Contestants reach the Possessor within three (3) hours of the competition commencing, both Contestants must compete in a BOAT race to claim the cup. The BOAT race will be conducted using the local rules of the Possessor.<br />
:6. If neither Contestant claims possession of the Cup within 24 hours of the Keyword being declared, the current Possessor retains possession of the Cup until it is successfully claimed. The Contestants will allowed to be heckled for not claiming the Cup. Heckling includes any taunts, insults, or question of the Contestant’s ability to function above the intelligence of a standard snapping turtle. Heckling may not exceed 43 seconds.<br />
:7. Upon a Contestant claiming possession of the Cup, much celebration shall be had between all Societies present, at a location of the Possessor’s discretion, and much debauchery shall be had. The Possessor should consider the logistics of lodging any of the Contestants that engage in too much debauchery.<br />
:8. Once claimed, the Cup will travel back to the Society of the Victor, where they will become the Possessor.<br />
===Section 5 - Possessing the Cup===<br />
:1. The President or Vice President External of the Possessor is responsible for the well-being of the Cup.<br />
:2. The competition is initiated by the President or Vice President External of the Possessor contacting the President or Vice President External of the Contestants.<br />
:3. If the Cup is misplaced, damaged, or stolen, the Possessor is responsible for procuring a new Cup within one month. The Contestants are allowed to abuse the President or Vice President External of the Possessor for their clumsiness.<br />
:4. Abuse is limited to a backhand slap delivered to the face or kidney.<br />
===Section 6 - Amending this Accord===<br />
:1. This accord can be amended at any face-to-face meeting of all Engineering Student Societies participating in the competition. Once agreed upon unanimously, each respective Engineering Student Society must ratify the amendments to this Accord, through their own procedures.<br />
:2. At least three pitchers must be consumed during the deliberations.<br />

<div>The '''LGMB Rant''' is the official introduction of the [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]. It consists of a series of events, exploits, accolades, and descriptions strung together into a rhyming list that is performed by the [[Bnad Leedur]] (who is required to memorize the rant word for word) at major Bnad events such as [[Matriculation]], [[Cannonball]], and [[Gradball]]. At the end of the year, the Bnad Leedur may extend the rant to include significant events of their term.<br />

<div>[[Image:Lgmb.png|thumb|The crest of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]<br />
<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays a snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />

==The Rant==<br />
The [[LGMB Rant]] is the official introduction of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad. It consists of a series of events, exploits, accolades, and descriptions strung together into a rhyming list that is performed by the Bnad Leedur (who is required to memorize the rant word for word) at major Bnad events such as [[Matriculation]], [[Cannonball]], and [[Gradball]]. At the end of the year, the Bnad Leedur may extend the rant to include significant events of their term.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded in 1949 by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<div>[[Image:Lgmb.png|thumb|The crest of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]<br />
<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays a snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />
<br />
Current and Recent Bnad Leedurs:<br />
[[List of Bnad Leedurs|''See List of Bnad Leedurs'']]<br />
<br />
Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />
<br />
==The Rant==<br />
The [[LGMB Rant]] is the official introduction of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad. It consists of a series of events, exploits, accolades, and descriptions strung together into a rhyming list that is performed by the Bnad Leedur, who is required to memorize the rant word for word, at major Bnad events such as [[Matriculation]], [[Cannonball]], and [[Gradball]]. At the end of the year, the Bnad Leedur may extend the rant to include significant events of their term.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded in 1949 by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded in 1949 by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<div>[[Image:Lgmb.png|thumb|The crest of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]<br />
<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />

Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />

==The Rant==<br />
The [[LGMB Rant]] is the official introduction of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad. It consists of a series of events, exploits, accolades, and descriptions strung together into a rhyming list that is performed by the Bnad Leedur, who is required to memorize the rant word for word, at major Bnad events such as Matriculation, Cannonball, and Gradball. At the end of the year, the Bnad Leedur may extend the rant to include significant events of their term.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded in 1949 by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker.

<div>The '''LGMB Rant''' is the official introduction of the [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]. It consists of a series of events, exploits, accolades, and descriptions strung together into a rhyming list that is performed by the [[Bnad Leedur]], who is required to memorize the rant word for word, at major Bnad events such as [[Matriculation]], [[Cannonball]], and [[Gradball]]. At the end of the year, the Bnad Leedur may extend the rant to include significant events of their term.<br />

<br />
The '''Triple-D Cup''' (known colloquially as the '''Ontario Cup''' or simply '''The Cup''') is an award trophy claimed by the winner of the Cannonball Run, an inter-school competition between the engineering societies of the University of Toronto, McMaster University, and the University of Waterloo.<br />
<br />
The competition is loosely based on the Alberta Cup and corresponding Cup Run, an event run between the engineering societies of the University of Alberta and University of Calgary.<br />
<br />
==Inception==<br />
In June 2010, drafting began for a document outlining the rules and regulations of a competition to promote spirit and inter-school rivalry. The document was established by the Presidents and VPs External of the three schools' engineering societies, along with the incoming and outgoing Presidents of the Engineering Student Societies' Council of Ontario. The resulting document, ''The Gran Turismo Accord'', was enacted by the three participating engineering societies on July 5, 2010.<br />
<br />
At least once per semester, the school in possession of The Cup must declare "The Cup is up!" and the other two schools must race to the host. After the first school arrives to claim The Cup, there is a three hour window in which the second school may arrive to challenge the claim. In this case, the winner of The Cup is then determined by a BOAT race using the host school's house rules.<br />
<br />
The trophy consists of a cup trophy atop a rectangular base. Three sides of the base are emblazoned with a logo representative of one of the three participating schools (the McMaster Fireball, the Skule logo, and the Waterloo EngSoc logo). During the fall of 2010, the cup itself was purchased from Twin Cities Trophies in Waterloo, while the base was built by Sean O'Neil and the logos were burnt into the wood by Scott Rankin, both from the University of Waterloo. The first Cannonball Run was announced the morning of October 30, 2010.<br />
<br />
==The Gran Turismo Accord==<br />
===Section 1 - Spirit and Motivation===<br />
:1. This accord defines a friendly competition between Engineering Student Societies, in the hopes of fostering spirit and community building. The purpose of this competition is to bring the respective Engineering Societies together in a common purpose, and to have some fun.<br />
===Section 2 - Participants===<br />
:1. This accord to hold this competition is held between the McMaster University Engineering Society, the University of Toronto Engineering Society, and the University of Waterloo Engineering Society.<br />
===Section 3 - Definitions===<br />
:1. This competition is named “The Cannonball Run”. This competition will adopt a trophy, which will be named the “Triple-D Cup”. Within this accord, the trophy is henceforth referred to as the Cup.<br />
:2. The Possessor is defined as the Society in possession of the Cup<br />
:3. The Contestants are defined as the Societies who are competing for the Cup.<br />
:4. The Keyword is defined as the phrase “The Cup is up!”, which initiates the competition.<br />
:5. The Office of the Possessor is defined as the Engineering Society Office.<br />
::1. McMaster University Engineering Society John Hodgins Engineering, Room 121B, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L7<br />
::2. University of Toronto Engineering Society Sandford Fleming Building, Room B740, 10 King’s College Road, Toronto, ON, M5S 3G4 <br />
::3. University of Waterloo Engineering Society Carl Pollock Hall Room 1327, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1<br />
:6. The Victor is defined as the Society who successfully claims the Cup.<br />
===Section 4 - Conduct of the Competition===<br />
:1. At any one point in time, one Society will be in possession of the Cup.<br />
:2. At least once per academic term, the competition must occur. The Possessor is in charge of initiating a race between the Contestants to claim possession of the Cup.<br />
:3. The competition is initiated when the Possessor contacts the Contestants, and declares the Keyword. The Possessor must declare the Keyword to all Contestants within fifteen (15) minutes of each other.<br />
:4. Upon the Cup being “up”, all Contestants must race to the Office of the Possessor. Both Contestants have 24 hours to reach the Office of the Possessor.<br />
:5. The first Contestant to reach the Possessor will claim possession of the Cup and be declared the Victor. However, if both Contestants reach the Possessor within three (3) hours of the competition commencing, both Contestants must compete in a BOAT race to claim the cup. The BOAT race will be conducted using the local rules of the Possessor.<br />
:6. If neither Contestant claims possession of the Cup within 24 hours of the Keyword being declared, the current Possessor retains possession of the Cup until it is successfully claimed. The Contestants will allowed to be heckled for not claiming the Cup. Heckling includes any taunts, insults, or question of the Contestant’s ability to function above the intelligence of a standard snapping turtle. Heckling may not exceed 43 seconds.<br />
:7. Upon a Contestant claiming possession of the Cup, much celebration shall be had between all Societies present, at a location of the Possessor’s discretion, and much debauchery shall be had. The Possessor should consider the logistics of lodging any of the Contestants that engage in too much debauchery.<br />
:8. Once claimed, the Cup will travel back to the Society of the Victor, where they will become the Possessor.<br />
===Section 5 - Possessing the Cup===<br />
:1. The President or Vice President External of the Possessor is responsible for the well-‐being of the Cup.<br />
:2. The competition is initiated by the President or Vice President External of the Possessor contacting the President or Vice President External of the Contestants.<br />
:3. If the Cup is misplaced, damaged, or stolen, the Possessor is responsible for procuring a new Cup within one month. The Contestants are allowed to abuse the President or Vice President External of the Possessor for their clumsiness.<br />
:4. Abuse is limited to a backhand slap delivered to the face or kidney.<br />
===Section 6 - Amending this Accord===<br />
:1. This accord can be amended at any face-to-face meeting of all Engineering Student Societies participating in the competition. Once agreed upon unanimously, each respective Engineering Student Society must ratify the amendments to this Accord, through their own procedures.<br />
:2. At least three pitchers must be consumed during the deliberations.<br />

After the first school arrives to claim The Cup, there is a three hour window in which the second school may arrive to challenge the claim. In this case, the winner of The Cup is then determined by a BOAT race using the host school's house rules.<br />
<br />
The trophy consists of a cup trophy atop a rectangular base. The cup itself was purchased from Twin Cities Trophies in Waterloo, while the base was built by Sean O'Neil and the logos were burnt into the wood by Scott Rankin, both from the University of Waterloo. Three sides of the base are emblazoned with a logo representative of one of the three participating schools (the McMaster Fireball, the Skule logo, and the Waterloo EngSoc logo). The original Cup was made by Waterloo in the fall of 2010, and the first Cannonball Run was announced the morning of October 30, 2010.<br />

<div>[[Image:Lgmb.png|thumb|The crest of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]<br />
<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB 2009-2010.jpg|300px|thumb|[[LGMB_Gradball_Photos|LGMB at Gradball 2010]]]]<br />
<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />
<br />
Current and Recent Bnad Leedurs:<br />
[[List of Bnad Leedurs|''See List of Bnad Leedurs'']]<br />
<br />
Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded in 1949 by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB Sheppard Subway Opening.jpg|200px|thumb|left|LGMB opening the Sheppard Subway]]<br />
In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />

Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded in 1949 by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<br />
The '''Triple-D Cup''' (known colloquially as the '''Ontario Cup''' or simply '''The Cup''') is an award trophy claimed by the winner of the Cannonball Run, an inter-school competition between the engineering societies of the University of Toronto, McMaster University, and the University of Waterloo.<br />
<br />
The competition is loosely based on the Alberta Cup and corresponding Cup Run, an event run between the engineering societies of the University of Alberta and University of Calgary.<br />
<br />
==Inception==<br />
In June 2010, drafting began for a document outlining the rules and regulations of a competition to promote spirit and inter-school rivalry. The document was established by the Presidents and VPs External of the three schools' engineering societies, along with the incoming and outgoing Presidents of the Engineering Student Societies' Council of Ontario. The resulting document, ''The Gran Turismo Accord'', was enacted by the three participating engineering societies on July 5, 2010.<br />
<br />
At least once per semester, the school in possession of The Cup must declare "The Cup is up!" and the other two schools must race to the host. After the first school arrives to claim The Cup, there is a three hour window in which the second school may arrive to challenge the claim. In this case, the winner of The Cup is then determined by a BOAT race using the host school's house rules.<br />
<br />
The trophy consists of a cup trophy atop a rectangular base. Three sides of the base are emblazoned with a logo representative of one of the three participating schools (the McMaster Fireball, the Skule logo, and the Waterloo EngSoc logo). The original Cup was bought by Waterloo in the fall of 2010, and the first Cannonball Run was announced the morning of October 30, 2010.<br />
<br />
==The Gran Turismo Accord==<br />
===Section 1 - Spirit and Motivation===<br />
:1. This accord defines a friendly competition between Engineering Student Societies, in the hopes of fostering spirit and community building. The purpose of this competition is to bring the respective Engineering Societies together in a common purpose, and to have some fun.<br />
===Section 2 - Participants===<br />
:1. This accord to hold this competition is held between the McMaster University Engineering Society, the University of Toronto Engineering Society, and the University of Waterloo Engineering Society.<br />
===Section 3 - Definitions===<br />
:1. This competition is named “The Cannonball Run”. This competition will adopt a trophy, which will be named the “Triple-D Cup”. Within this accord, the trophy is henceforth referred to as the Cup.<br />
:2. The Possessor is defined as the Society in possession of the Cup<br />
:3. The Contestants are defined as the Societies who are competing for the Cup.<br />
:4. The Keyword is defined as the phrase “The Cup is up!”, which initiates the competition.<br />
:5. The Office of the Possessor is defined as the Engineering Society Office.<br />
::1. McMaster University Engineering Society John Hodgins Engineering, Room 121B, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L7<br />
::2. University of Toronto Engineering Society Sandford Fleming Building, Room B740, 10 King’s College Road, Toronto, ON, M5S 3G4 <br />
::3. University of Waterloo Engineering Society Carl Pollock Hall Room 1327, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1<br />
:6. The Victor is defined as the Society who successfully claims the Cup.<br />
===Section 4 - Conduct of the Competition===<br />
:1. At any one point in time, one Society will be in possession of the Cup.<br />
:2. At least once per academic term, the competition must occur. The Possessor is in charge of initiating a race between the Contestants to claim possession of the Cup.<br />
:3. The competition is initiated when the Possessor contacts the Contestants, and declares the Keyword. The Possessor must declare the Keyword to all Contestants within fifteen (15) minutes of each other.<br />
:4. Upon the Cup being “up”, all Contestants must race to the Office of the Possessor. Both Contestants have 24 hours to reach the Office of the Possessor.<br />
:5. The first Contestant to reach the Possessor will claim possession of the Cup and be declared the Victor. However, if both Contestants reach the Possessor within three (3) hours of the competition commencing, both Contestants must compete in a BOAT race to claim the cup. The BOAT race will be conducted using the local rules of the Possessor.<br />
:6. If neither Contestant claims possession of the Cup within 24 hours of the Keyword being declared, the current Possessor retains possession of the Cup until it is successfully claimed. The Contestants will allowed to be heckled for not claiming the Cup. Heckling includes any taunts, insults, or question of the Contestant’s ability to function above the intelligence of a standard snapping turtle. Heckling may not exceed 43 seconds.<br />
:7. Upon a Contestant claiming possession of the Cup, much celebration shall be had between all Societies present, at a location of the Possessor’s discretion, and much debauchery shall be had. The Possessor should consider the logistics of lodging any of the Contestants that engage in too much debauchery.<br />
:8. Once claimed, the Cup will travel back to the Society of the Victor, where they will become the Possessor.<br />
===Section 5 - Possessing the Cup===<br />
:1. The President or Vice President External of the Possessor is responsible for the well-‐being of the Cup.<br />
:2. The competition is initiated by the President or Vice President External of the Possessor contacting the President or Vice President External of the Contestants.<br />
:3. If the Cup is misplaced, damaged, or stolen, the Possessor is responsible for procuring a new Cup within one month. The Contestants are allowed to abuse the President or Vice President External of the Possessor for their clumsiness.<br />
:4. Abuse is limited to a backhand slap delivered to the face or kidney.<br />
===Section 6 - Amending this Accord===<br />
:1. This accord can be amended at any face-to-face meeting of all Engineering Student Societies participating in the competition. Once agreed upon unanimously, each respective Engineering Student Society must ratify the amendments to this Accord, through their own procedures.<br />
:2. At least three pitchers must be consumed during the deliberations.<br />

In this case, the winner of The Cup is then determined by a BOAT race using the host school's house rules.<br />
<br />
The trophy consists of a cup trophy atop a rectangular base. Three sides of the base are emblazoned with a logo representative of one of the three participating schools (the McMaster Fireball, the Skule logo, and the Waterloo EngSoc logo). The original Cup was bought by Waterloo in the fall, and the first Cannonball Run was announced the morning of October 30, 2010.<br />

:2. The Possessor is defined as the Society in possession of the Cup<br />
:3. The Contestants are defined as the Societies who are competing for the Cup.<br />
:4. The Keyword is defined as the phrase “The Cup is up!”, which initiates the competition.<br />
:5. The Office of the Possessor is defined as the Engineering Society Office.<br />
::1. McMaster University Engineering Society John Hodgins Engineering, Room 121B, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L7<br />
::2. University of Toronto Engineering Society Sandford Fleming Building, Room B740, 10 King’s College Road, Toronto, ON, M5S 3G4 <br />
::3. University of Waterloo Engineering Society Carl Pollock Hall Room 1327, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1<br />
:6. The Victor is defined as the Society who successfully claims the Cup.<br />
===Section 4 - Conduct of the Competition===<br />
:1. At any one point in time, one Society will be in possession of the Cup.<br />
:2. At least once per academic term, the competition must occur. The Possessor is in charge of initiating a race between the Contestants to claim possession of the Cup.<br />
:3. The competition is initiated when the Possessor contacts the Contestants, and declares the Keyword. The Possessor must declare the Keyword to all Contestants within fifteen (15) minutes of each other.<br />
:4. Upon the Cup being “up”, all Contestants must race to the Office of the Possessor. Both Contestants have 24 hours to reach the Office of the Possessor.<br />
:5. The first Contestant to reach the Possessor will claim possession of the Cup and be declared the Victor. However, if both Contestants reach the Possessor within three (3) hours of the competition commencing, both Contestants must compete in a BOAT race to claim the cup. The BOAT race will be conducted using the local rules of the Possessor.<br />
:6. If neither Contestant claims possession of the Cup within 24 hours of the Keyword being declared, the current Possessor retains possession of the Cup until it is successfully claimed. The Contestants will allowed to be heckled for not claiming the Cup. Heckling includes any taunts, insults, or question of the Contestant’s ability to function above the intelligence of a standard snapping turtle. Heckling may not exceed 43 seconds.<br />
:7. Upon a Contestant claiming possession of the Cup, much celebration shall be had between all Societies present, at a location of the Possessor’s discretion, and much debauchery shall be had. The Possessor should consider the logistics of lodging any of the Contestants that engage in too much debauchery.<br />
:8. Once claimed, the Cup will travel back to the Society of the Victor, where they will become the Possessor.<br />
===Section 5 - Possessing the Cup===<br />
:1. The President or Vice President External of the Possessor is responsible for the well-‐being of the Cup.<br />
:2. The competition is initiated by the President or Vice President External of the Possessor contacting the President or Vice President External of the Contestants.<br />
:3. If the Cup is misplaced, damaged, or stolen, the Possessor is responsible for procuring a new Cup within one month. The Contestants are allowed to abuse the President or Vice President External of the Possessor for their clumsiness.<br />
:4. Abuse is limited to a backhand slap delivered to the face or kidney.<br />
===Section 6 - Amending this Accord===<br />
:1. This accord can be amended at any face-to-face meeting of all Engineering Student Societies participating in the competition. Once agreed upon unanimously, each respective Engineering Student Society must ratify the amendments to this Accord, through their own procedures.<br />
:2. At least three pitchers must be consumed during the deliberations.<br />

<div>The [[Engineering Society]] provides specially coloured hardhats to many individuals that fulfill leadership roles within the Skule Community. The hardhats provide recognition for these individuals' efforts, promote awareness of their roles in the Skule community, and bolster Skule spirit. By tradition, some colours are reserved for groups and individuals external to the Society, including the [[Skule Trinity]], [[Skule Nite]], and the Pink hardhat in memory of Julie Wilkinson.<br />
<br />
Hardhats are often decorated by their owners, sometimes with simple stickers and letters to label their position, and sometimes with elaborate gadgets and contraptions. Each year, the F!rosh [[Hardhat Decoration Contest]] is held during Godiva Week to determine who can come up with the best/most creative designs.<br />

<div>[[Image:Lgmb.png|thumb|The crest of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]<br />
<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB 2009-2010.jpg|300px|thumb|[[LGMB_Gradball_Photos|LGMB at Gradball 2010]]]]<br />
<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />
<br />
Current and Recent Bnad Leedurs:<br />
[[List of Bnad Leedurs|''See List of Bnad Leedurs'']]<br />
<br />
Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded circa 1950, by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by [[Engineering Society|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />

In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<div>[[Image:Lgmb.png|thumb|The crest of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]<br />
<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />
<br />
Current and Recent Bnad Leedurs:<br />
[[List of Bnad Leedurs|''See List of Bnad Leedurs'']]<br />
<br />
Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded circa 1950, by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and student life [[University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />

<br />
Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded circa 1950, by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and student life [[President|University of Toronto Engineering Society]] [[President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB Sheppard Subway Opening.jpg|200px|thumb|left|LGMB opening the Sheppard Subway]]<br />
In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />

==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded circa 1950, by [[A.J. Paul La Prairie]] while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and student life [[President|University of Toronto Engineering Society President]] Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of [[F!rosh Week|University of Toronto Frosh Week]] each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />

[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, in 2007]]<br />

The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<div>[[Image:Lgmb.png|thumb|The crest of the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]<br />
<br />
The ''Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad'', or '''LGMB''', is a student-run band consisting chiefly of University of Toronto engineering students. The LGMB is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of [[Skule|Skule&trade;]] spirit along with [[Skule Cannon | Ye Olde Mighty Skule&trade; Cannon]] and the [[Brute Force Committee]] (BFC). The LGMB is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious appearances at events.<br />
<br />
The [[Lady Godiva]] Memorial Bnad is primarily a spirit group and secondly a musical group. The bnad is often introduced, incorrectly, as the ''Lady Godiva Marching Band'', despite the fact that the bnad never marches. A more correct term would be ''meandering band''. The use of the term ''bnad'' is a reference to the inability (or unwillingness) of engineers to spell correctly (see [[Skule]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Repertoire and instrumentation==<br />
The LGMB tries to play an assortment of [[Skule]]-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the bnad leedur(s) will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.<br />
<br />
During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.<br />
<br />
The Bnad Leedur may play any instrument he/she is competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The D(r)umb Majur(k) plays snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.<br />

<br />
==Bnad members==<br />
The LGMB advertises that any student in the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering is a member of the Bnad by default. However, a more practical definition of a bnad member is anyone who has attended a bnad event. No musical talent is required to play with the LGMB, which is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the group's unique performance. <br />
<br />
Current and Recent Bnad Leedurs:<br />
[[List of Bnad Leedurs|''See List of Bnad Leedurs'']]<br />
<br />
Some notable members of the LGMB have been:<br />
*Sidney Smith (c.1950)<br />
*A.J. Paul La Prairie (c.1949&ndash;1950)<br />
*Tim Allan (c.1968&ndash;1972)<br />
*Bob Bossin (c.1966&ndash;1969)<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad was founded circa 1950, by A.J. Paul La Prairie while he was a student at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Originally called The Lady Godiva Band, it was soon renamed to the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, a name suggested by the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and student life University of Toronto Engineering Society President Bill Walker. They have since become the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad.<br />
<br />
The original band had about fifteen members and was initially led by their founder A.J. Paul La Prairie. During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.<br />
<br />
The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck. [http://archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?AC=GET_RECORD&BU=http%3A//archives.library.utoronto.ca/dbtw-wpd/textbase/175image/&TN=175image&SN=AUTO2465&SE=1158&RN=4&MR=10&RF=175report&DF=175expanded&RL=0&DL=0&NP=3&ID=]<br />
<br />
An account of one of the first events given by A.J. Paul La Prairie:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We did have one parade that I do remember, with humour. There was a big football game at Varsity Stadium. The L.G.M.B. marched up and, to the amazement of the ticket collectors, we played our way right through the gate and on to the field. For this event we were all wearing great big moustaches. When we came to the fifty yard line I noticed Sidney Smith sitting in front. I offered him a moustache, which he put on. The band serenaded him. Ergo, Sidney Smith, President of The University of Toronto, became an Honorary Member of the L.G.M.B. (La Prairie 1994) [http://traditions.skule.ca/articles/ajax/alumni/laprairie.php]</blockquote><br />
<br />
Another notable event attended by the LGMB was the Bloor-Danforth subway line opening on February 26, 1966. According to ''The Ubyssey'', a University of British Columbia student newspaper, 500 University of Toronto engineering students led by the LGMB "lept over turnstiles" and the first 400 students piled onto a train. One of the remaining students then pulled the emergency power switch. This event interfered with regular service for more than five hours. The LGMB has been accused of causing this disruption; however, their involvement is not verified. [http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1966_03_01.pdf] This day was subsequently celebrated for years to come as [[St. Ralph's Day]] after Ralph C. Day, a former mayor of Toronto and the director of the Toronto Transit Commission at the time.<br />
<br />
The next year, the LGMB produced their first of six albums to date, ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band at the Mighty Cannonball'' (1962). Also produced by the LGMB were ''The Lady Godiva Memorial Band Strikes Back!!'' (1964), ''Lady Godiva Memorial Band Blows'' (1967), ''Band With the Runs'' (1977), ''Never Mind the Football Game'', ''Here's the Lady Godiva Memorial Band'' (1989), and ''Let Go Me Bongos!'' (CD 1999).<br />
<br />
In the 1970s, at the beginning of University of Toronto Frosh Week each year, the LGMB met on the lawn in front of the Ontario provincial legislature. There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Premier of Ontario. During the ceremony the band played several "standard" selections as well as the engineering cheer song. <br />
<br />
In 1976, the LGMB won a second place award in the Kiwanis Music Festival in class 425 (Brass and Reed Bands — Open). Paul Higgins led the LGMB to a first place award in class 501 (Brass and Reed Bands — membership to be less than 30), in a different year, for their performance of ''First Suite for Military Band in E Flat'' by Gustav Holst.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1976 the LGMB played at the CN tower alongside Pierre Trudeau and his wife Margaret Trudeau, becoming the first band to play at the CN Tower.<br />
<br />
About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.<br />
<br />

In 2000, the LGMB sat in the audience for a showing of Jonovision. They were mentioned briefly by the host Jonathan Torrens. The LGMB also made it onto Breakfast Television on September 3, 2002. Also in 2002, the LGMB continued its subway opening traditions by riding on the opening subway of the Sheppard Subway line.<br />
<br />
[[Image:LGMB_at_Santa_Claus_Parade_2007.jpg|300px|thumb|right|LGMB at its first official appearance in the 2007 Toronto Santa Claus Parade]]<br />
After years of 'crashing' the Toronto Santa Claus Parade uninvited (and often resulting in police escorts away from the parade), the LGMB was finally invited to participate in the nationally-televised parade in 2007 when the organizers of the parade needed a last-minute replacement band for the event. The Bnad was amply rewarded with BEvERages for the service, and has been invited back to the Santa Claus Parade every year since.<br />

<div>The [[Engineering Society]] provides specially coloured hardhats to many individuals that fulfill leadership roles within the Skule Community. The hardhats provide recognition for these individuals' efforts, promote awareness of their roles in the Skule community, and bolster Skule spirit. By tradition, some colours are reserved for groups and individuals external to the Society, including the [[Skule Trinity]], [[Skule Nite]], and the Pink hardhat in memory of Julie Wilkinson.<br />
<br />
Hardhats are often decorated by their owners, sometimes with simple stickers and letters to label their position, and sometimes with elaborate gadgets and contraptions. Each year, the F!rosh [[Hardhat Decoration Contest]] is held during Godiva Week to determine who can come up with the best/most creative designs.<br />

<div>The [[Engineering Society]] provides specially coloured hardhats to many individuals that fulfill leadership roles within the Skule Community. The hardhats provide recognition for these individuals' efforts, promote awareness of their roles in the Skule community, and bolster Skule spirit. By tradition, some colours are reserved for groups and individuals external to the Society, including the [[Skule Trinity]], [[Skule Nite]], and the Pink hardhat in memory of Julie Wilkinson.<br />
<br />
Hardhats are often decorated by their owners, sometimes with simple stickers and letters to label their position, and sometimes with elaborate gadgets and contraptions. Each year, the F!rosh [[Hardhat Decoration Contest]] is held during Godiva Week to determine who can come up with the best/most creative designs.<br />

<hr />
<div>The [[Engineering Society]] provides specially coloured hardhats to many individuals that fulfill leadership roles within the Skule Community. The hardhats provide recognition for these individuals' efforts, promote awareness of their roles in the Skule community, and bolster Skule spirit. By tradition, some colours are reserved for groups and individuals external to the Society, including the [[Skule Trinity]], [[Skule Nite]], and the Pink hardhat in memory of Julie Wilkinson.<br />
<br />
Hardhats are often decorated by their owners, sometimes with simple stickers and letters to label their position, and sometimes with elaborate gadgets and contraptions. Each year, the F!rosh [[Hardhat Decoration Contest]] is held during Godiva Week to determine who can come up with the best/most creative designs.<br />

<div>The '''University of Toronto Engineering Society''', also known as '''EngSoc''', is the student government for students at [[Skule]]&trade; — the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. EngSoc manages Skule™ services and provides club funding, professional development, and extracurricular opportunities to over 4800 full-time members, proudly continuing the traditions and storied history of Canada’s oldest and largest engineering school. Founded in 1885, it is the oldest Engineering Society of students in Canada. <br />

<hr />
<div>The [[Bnad Leedur]] of the [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]] provides the melody for the rest of the Bnad to follow. The Bnad Leedur often selects the trombone as the instrument of choice, because of its range, volume and simplicity. However, Bnad leedurs have also been known to play other wind or brass instruments such as saxophone or trumpet. The Bnad Leedur is also a crucial part of 'Bnad quorum', as both a current or former Bnad Leedur and a current or former [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] must be present for a Bnad event to occur.<br />
<br />
==Selection of the Bnad Leedur==<br />
The Bnad Leedur has a term of two years, and thus there are always two current Bnad Leedurs to lead an event. When first selected at [[Godiva's Wake]], the individual becomes the Baby Bnad Leedur until [[Gradball]] two months later. At Gradball, the Baby Bnad Leedur becomes the Joonyur Bnad Leedur and the Joonyur Bnad Leedur becomes the Bnad Leedur, while the current Bnad Leedur yields their responsibilities to the new team.<br />
