Rhymes with Squirrel? 2026-06-28 - Muncie, IN - Photo by Pen. A few members of several central Kentucky Color Guards spent last week on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, for the Bands of America Summer Camp (which used to be the Music for All Summer Symposium). Students spent an action-packed week learning single handed double time and other fine points of the marching arts, but the start and end of the camp involved a parade of parents carrying luggage and band gear to and from destinations like Botsford/Swinford and the Jack Beyerl Residence Hall (pictured above). Curiosity got the best of me while waiting on an elevator, and I searched the BSU web site in vain for a pronunciation of "Beyerl." Gemini suggested that it rhymes with "squirrel", but cited some unlikely sources for the inference. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
