With the much smaller hoop troop (the reno group), I think the chinese firedrill across the TAC would be easy to pull off. I resubmit my suggestion. Imagine all those brass running around, blasting random notes, and jumping seats all over the tac all while trying to play "dirty deeds done dirt cheap."
AB gorilla are you going for a record of posts in a day...WOW
He is trying to get out of puppy category.Quote:

Gorilla;
see previous statement; basketball bands are no longer allowed to play in random spots on the floor or around the arena; and this WAS changed because of what "the man in the hat" USED to do.
This is an ncaa rule change; thus subject to technical foul.
Singing while the other team is shooting free throws worked fairlly well for us in Reno, it worked better than just screaming. "Block that Kick" was prolly our fav, along with "A-B-C-D-E-F-G...." worked well too, others we tried included "Row-Row-Row your boat", "The isty Bisty spider", "I love you, you love, me we're a happy family...", and "this is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friend...."
I forget who brought up the idea in the first place(i'm too lazy to look back and see) but whoever it was thanks. The songs that didn't have too many words to it and were short like "Block that kick" and the ABC's worked best because it was easier to understand.
We'll continue doing it where ever the girls go this weekend, any other requests??????
Hey, "T" and AG are ya'll going to the second round???
Sorry I didn't respond to the personal message. There is a good chance we'll end up at the NCAA tournament game this weekend. We'll see.
T and myself also came up with an interesting free throw thwarting attempt. Taking our shoes off and waving them in the air seemed to help.
Other songs you might consider: The Hookie Pokie (you'd even have body movements) and Jingle Bells. Also, at the dance, you might consider making a chant to play off the fact that their starting QB had to sit out a year because he thought he was God.
Also, you know what would be a good song for next year? The umpa-lumpa song would be great. Everyone would recognize it immediately.
Why would FSU's QB have anything to do with the womens basketball team?Quote:

I posted this a minute ago under that Lady Techsters page, but I figured I'd post it here too.
My freshman year in 1998, we played in Monroe for NLU (ULM)/TECH football game. Robken arranged a song that started out in the tomahawk chop and then broke into 10 Little Indians. DR. WESTBROOK OR ANYONE IN HOOP TROOP, PLEASE ASK ROBKEN IF HE STILL HAS THIS ARRANGEMENT. IT WOULD BE PERFECT TO PLAY IN THE FIRST ROUND AGAINST FLORIDA STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol, I heard about that one, wasn't it that song that caused on off duty Monroe police officer to throw a beer bottle at the band? If Robken doesn't have it i'm sure he could probably whip it up pretty quick.
HAHA, that one one of my first games!!! We waited until they wanted to battle with "Dawg POUND!" and then we broke that out... along with doing a loud ass Dawg Pound... followed y a Indian Pound.... about 5 times softer, and missing notes left and right!!:laugh: :laugh:
(Ok, so prolly only the other band nerds could follow that!:icon_wink )
I remember pulling my slides all the way out to the tips before playing that one... you talk about some FLAT notes!
I e-mailed him the request.....we'll see what he says......
Today we had a practice i told him about playing the Oompa Loompa song some body mentioned on another thread and he got this huge smile and said we'll def. work it in sometime this weekend.
I would like to mention that the confetti was a great idea and I would like to see it employeed at the TAC. That was a GREAT idea.
They won't let J-Rob do it in the TAC anymore, the first year he was here at Tech he did it and along the wall there is a vent that sucks air up and goes to the filter. Well all the confetti got sucked up and and clogged the filter but the filter is way up at the top of the TAC so they didn't like that and won't let him do it again.Quote:
