Shit I can still do that Cheer dance in my sleep. thats no problem. As far as the verbal cues passed down can't help ya there. I know in the t-bone section we didn't change jack. At least play the song in the stands. Always gets people pumped up. Or was it because we use to end the song playin on our knees.

So, um, question from a cranky alum who does't make it to many games anymore.

What the hell did you do to the end of the alma mater?

The Alma Mater is a classic example of an over-zealous arranger with a fetish for Fanfares rivaling John Williams. But, a lot of the alumni love the change.....so it stuck. And notice I said Alumni in general, not mentioning Band Alum's. They, like me, think some of the music changes to school songs ain't so hot.
