Props of Disproportionate Magnitude!


For as long as any current SA can remember, and even before that, we SAs have endeavored always to increase the size of "The Largest Prop Ever." And so we have succeeded, every year! How is this possible, you might ask? Does not each new exemplary model of huge propbuilding overshadow its predecessor? Nay! Each one of our pinnacles of creative gigantism remains firmly in memory, forever emblazoned with its own unique title! Onward, ye of curious nature!
An aside: It has come to the attention of the SAs that some of our bretheren Propmakers in bands across the country create but one large prop per season, and we would like to inform you that this is not so with the SAs! We create multiple huge props each year; these are just the largest of the large.
