There are times I worry about the future of the band. This weekend isn't one of those times.
For those of you not in the know, We faced our local basketball rival (UNA) for both a mens and womens game. The Charger women...didn't do so hot. Sorry ladies. The Men's game however...it was epic. We matched them point for point almost the entire game.
However, with about two minutes left in the game, we suddenly went down by as much as 6 points with about 5 minutes left and momentum definitely against us. From experience, I knew this could potentially be a spirit killer for the band, which is a shame because that's normally when we need to be the loudest.
This was not the case this past weekend. The band I saw then looked very much like the band cheering on the Charger's Hockey team in Iowa with a 4 point deficit a few years back. The amp didn't just go to 11, it went to 15. I don't think we stopped cheering until the buzzer sounded.
Sadly, the game ended with a dunk at the buzzer being missed and the Chargers losing by 2. However, watching the spirit of the band Saturday, I'll take the loss. It was a good day for the band.
Incidentally, we really should start working on nicknames. First we need to rebuild the darken cavern with spot lights for the Elders and the hooded robes. Oh Doug....
