Does anyone know if any version of the pep band is showing up?

I'm assuming it's strictly alums.

Good enough for me!

Does anyone know if any version of the pep band is showing up?

An alumni band had begun organizing when it was discovered that the tournament just assumed none of the schools would send their band and hired 4 local high schools to fill in. Not wanting to just elbow those high-schoolers out, an alumni band leader got in touch (through CU Athletics) with the VGK's marketing manager, and it turns out the Desert Pines HS band said they would be thrilled to have us join them.

So mostly a HS band with some CU band alumni joining for support/guidance. Some of us *cough* are relieved we don't have to be relied on to play or schlep a trombone across the country. I'm not sure if the alumni would get a chance to play a bit on their own, but that was also being discussed.

Maybe a bad assumption, but that's pretty neat compared to just saying no bands.

it would be even cooler (though above and beyond tbh) if they got in touch with the school bands to get "assignments" to learn for the game. Would be hilarious to get a few HS kids to learn a quick Swanee only to have the band director blanch when he heard what it was for.

Is that a trombone or are you just happy....

The band playing for OSU played Gary Glitter.  The band supporting us was great.  They actually all wore red, had red and white flags to twirl, and played Davy after the goals and the Alma Mater during the intermission.  Now we need to teach them "O Canada."

In the USCHO TMQ column Jim Connelly states that he'll be in LV. So let's win and get the publicity, as well as PWR points.

Always so biased Jim ... we'll have 3 CHN people in Vegas!  

If I saw it right, the press box is just a bunch of tables along the concourse with fans walking along behind you. I bet Trump fans wish they had that kind of access to the political journos.

Yes, the playing of Davy was beautiful, especially since we had so many goals to celebrate.

Who else is here an extra day because Frontier cancelled their return flight?

Who's here all week because of CES? Gives me parts of 7 days to get my clothes further weed-infused from walking about.
