"In Heaven..." (a.k.a. "No Beer")

Enjoy, particularly the third verse...

Must be a really popular athletic program since there's more band members at the game than there are spectators.

I just love working games with pep bands.

Brings an extra element to the game and creates a great atmosphere (most times).

I did a charity game at the end of this past season where two MS Faculties played - and they both brought their bands! Hoorah!

Talking

A few hundred years ago, back when I was in HS, our "pep band" used to lead us in singing cheers, not just with music. One of their favorites during basketball games was, "Our team is red hot. Your team is diddly squat."

Also, during FTs by the other team, they would chant, "See that basket. See that ball. C'mon stupid. Hit the wall."

I miss HS.

Love it! No way in hell most high schools would allow that from its student sections today, though.
