Hey Band, Andrew Cleveland here. Way to go Big Dawgs! Another 'W' in the books means we are one step closer to being season champs of the AEC. However, I just have one comment, hear me out...

Yes, games like last nights are fun...afterwards. Yes, a greater feeling of winning is felt....afterwards. During the game, every ounce of yell and cheer and stomp is squeezed out of you're body as you're trying to help make a difference. It is just so draining, and I haven't even mentioned the fact that we have to play our instruments throughout the game as well! So here is my comment. All of you in the band are going above and beyond the call of duty of any fan watching their basketball game. THANK YOU! The worst thing I can see is someone just sitting in a crowd of jumping, screaming people not contributing to the success of their home team. So please, bug your friends to jump, shout, yell, or clap for the team! ESPECIALLY IF YOUR FRIENDS ARE IN THE PEP BAND! ;-)

On another note (no pun intended) I'm considering writing out an arrangement for the pepband for the tournaments this year. Any suggestions??? PLEASE leave a comment or just send me an email through the contact page.

Thanks again guys, good luck with the first round of finals coming up!

-Andrew Cleveland
