Re: Manchester Roll Call - 7 years ago
Really wish I could make it, considering Manchester was my second favorite place to live (Ithaca is obviously the first). If anyone wants recommendations for good restaurants/bars, let me know. My favorite bars include Strange Brew and Murphy's Taproom, both on/near Elm Street. Murphy's has lots of stuff on tap but the food isn't as good and is closer to the rink, but Strange Brew also has a greaby kla52 - Hockey

Re: Replacement Song for Swanee/Over There - 7 years ago
I'm pretty sure that athletics strongly suggested that the band change the song. It's not about not wanting to play Swanee, it's about having to comply with the demands from a bunch of overly sensitive students (in my opinion). Oh, and it seems like every year Andy Noel threatens to "not let the band play Gary Glitter" if the student sections keep swearing during the cheer...so far iby kla52 - Hockey
Re: Replacement Song for Swanee/Over There - 7 years ago
Sure - maybe we should just let the cheer die, that is certainly an option. I don't think anyone is hell-bent on keeping the cheer, but I do believe the band/tubas really liked playing Swanee, and I think it's still worth trying to come up with a better replacement than Over There. I figured I'd start the brainstorming venture here, since this forum has some former pep band members and regular gaby kla52 - Hockey
Replacement Song for Swanee/Over There - 7 years ago
I was reading the comments in the Quinnipiac thread and figured I'd start a new one so we can discuss what might be a better replacement tuba cheer. If we can come up with a few songs with the right cadence, I can forward the suggestions to the powers that be. From what I understand, the band really isn't 100% sold on playing Over There as it is. Also, fun fact: this is my first ever post hereby kla52 - Hockey
