Re: SDSU Pep Band
This slow and inactive cheering has bugged me for a long time. We need to bring Roy back to campus to show how it is done. Maybe it was anothe era, but Roy and his group seemed to take this so serious and the team got the cheering support that they needed, with the Rooter Bell and the cheer squad that was smaller. They did spread themselves out and actually led the cheers. There was no going through the motion and then standing at the court end like potted plants. I was in high school at the time, but the student section in the barn was always packed and noisey during the game. Somewhere along the way, the spirit of cheering died and to revive it is going to take some effort. Speeding up the cheers seems to be a good starter. Yes I am 60 plus so been around for a while. Its tough to be a cheerleader. Years ago, I went to a DePaul game at Alumni Hall before they went to the Rosement to play, and if I recollect correctly, they had no cheerleaders or pep band and a sound system played their fight song when the team came on the floor. I would hate to see SDSU retreat to this level, but we seem to be heading this way. I think for the admin to try and control the pep band is wrong. Its about the students and what they want to do. Let them do it.,
