And they(I'm not calling any names) were flauntingly saying that "a doctorate in music was required for the position", if you don't know what you are talking about, its best to remain quiet. :retard:

Don't let the job description fool you. They will still very likely and strongly still want someone with a doctorate. So the "they" KNOW what they're talking about.

I doubt it. What color Cadillac did William Davis drive? What department did his wife work on campus? What was in front of the library before they expanded it? What is the name of the old Dining Hall near Just Science Hall? What was on the site where the AAC sits now? What female JSU employee has been there since the 1940's? What is the JSU yearbook called? What is the JSU school newspaper called? When is Ms. JSU crowned?

All of that can still be researched via internet, JSU yearbooks or talking to someone who went to JSU. But knowing how JSU administration, particularly how the music dept. operates and its history of how things have gone down in the past with picking a DOB is something that's commonly known among those in the band or have been in the band. Now were you once in JSU's band or closely tied to JSU music programs with the marching band????
