To the pep band

Re: To the pep band

I wish the Athletic Dept. would play ACDC's "She's Got the Jack" during timeouts or something at Women's basketball games.

Need I say more?

Listening to this... the key would be to get the crowd to know the song and when to yell "JACKS"...lol

Very fun though

By listening to the song, it should not be too hard to figure out when to yell "JACK" I think the learning curve would be pretty easy.

I just got home for lunch and am going to throw a couple blankets and jacket in the Jeep and head to Btown. Going to meet SDSU daughter and some of her friends at Cubby's for early supper and beers. Guess who is buying. Oh well, should be fun anyway. See you at the game and as always, "GO JACKS!!!".

Well the locals are getting set to be up at Frost filling the arena, and us away folks are (ahem) "working".

To all the east river SD, SW MN, and NW IA Jacks fans, this is a BIG NIGHT/WEEKEND for Jacks basketball. Get to FROST and ENJOY!

I'm hoping to have things under enough control to get out of town by 5:00 and in my seat at Frost by 7:00 tonight. This is one night when the parking pass will come in handy.

Re: To the pep band

I'll donate $200 to the pep band if they play Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good" during the basketball game on Friday night. No Joke.

Who's with me?

Great idea trying to get the Band/ crowd involved. Unfortunately, the time-outs are generally reserved for corporate sponsorship announcements. I know it pays the bills but they sure are rally killers and do nothing to keep the crowd involved.

Re: To the pep band

By the way, my wish nearly came true. It wasn't Chuck Mangione, but Allen Vizzutti just performed with the Symphonic Band this weekend at the performing arts center. IT WAS AWESOME. This guy is unbelievable with the trumpet. Check him out on youtube.

What a great experience for the spectators and the symphonic band.

Re: To the pep band

I had intended to comment after Saturday's games at Frost on the great performances by the pep band all season. Not long after I took my seat prior to the women's game, the pep band played "Dreams" by The Cranberries. I had not heard the pep band (any pep band) try that song before. Very well done...great arrangement, very faithful to the original.

That band is a huge part of what makes Frost such a special place.

Re: To the pep band

I agree, and you don't realize how much you would miss them until the game they couldn't be there.

Re: To the pep band

There are those on this board who aren't big fans of the bands (pep band, marching band). As pointed out, those bands are great additions to the athletic venue. And, if either is absent, there is a loss in the overall quality of the event.

Re: To the pep band

Personally, I'm a huge fan of the Pride and the Pep Band, but the ensemble that makes me go absolutely delirious with joy when I see them perform is the Drum Line.

More Drum Line! Now!

(At least they know the proper tempo to begin State Cadence! Unlike some cheerleaders . . . )

I couldn't agree more!!! I was sick over that phone poll the other night about what you would prefer: pep band or ice cream! I love ice cream but the band is so much Frost!
For those of you who were at St. Joe the year of the championship, we will never froget the band coming the first day!!! When they walked in the place went crazy! It was terrific and played a huge part in "Jackrabbit Nation" taking over there! Thanks to the band you so much more important than ice cream and we all know it!!!

Re: To the pep band

I'm glad you brought up the bad decision to have a cell phone call in poll about what fans liked most. The band was sitting there watching it unfold. If the ice cream lost, who cares? It doesn't have feelings. It was a rotten decision by whomever put that thing on the big screen. What were they thinking?
