Pillow Pride
When your marching band gets new uniforms, what do you do with the old ones? Make pillows, of course, with the help of the ϲϿ Davis Craft Center! The textiles student manager, Olivia Silvera, took on the project, formulating the production process and training Craft Center managers and volunteers in how to assemble the pillows. Later, when the Craft Center team returned to its other duties, the band finished up the project, which is raising funds to support the band. Available from ϲϿ Davis Stores (in limited quantity), $45.99.
