The RED-OUT crowd and "it's all your fault" cheer.

And if they take up the width of two sections, they'll have a hell of a time following a conductor.

[Rosey]

Ok, so take the west half of C and the east half of B.  Either way, make it a compromise between end and center, because I can attest to the fact that D, E, and F need serious rhythm help.

Cheers,
Kyle

Does anyone know the date of the mythical Swan Lake performance?

[quote jmh30]What I have in my head as a new take on the Sieve chant is slow, but not *as* slow as the Wisconsin chant others have described.  I'm thinking kind of like the existing chant except with the word "sieve" drawn out a bit longer (about as long as "skate" in the remote control goalie), and said about once every 1 1/2 to 2 seconds, and kept up for an extended period of time (a minute or two, at least).[/quote]Actually, that's pretty close to Wis.. When you consider that what is now happenning is closer to less than a second, this is alot slower. However, as much as I'd like it, I agree it's going to be very hard to change. You really need to speak to as many people in each section as possible, a major undertaking. ::help::

I was just waiting for someone to bring that up. Cheers.

The band is going to need serious rhythm help if they're spread out that far.  We phase sometimes as it is, and we're only 10 seats across.

[quote scersk '97]Ooooo... I don't know: depends on the acoustics. Is behind/across the ice from the home/visitor bench the best/worst place for the band to be?

As a bandsman, I would miss the rail (ah, the secret goodness of the rail) and being nearer the opposing goalie.

NB: The Pep Band staff should be quite closely involved in how the band gets "seated" after the renovations.[/quote]
I'd love that, but honestly... yeah, right.  Like the administration that kicked us out of men's lacrosse because we took up too much space is going to give a flying fig where we think we belong in Lynah.  We've also been playing "musical benches" in Newman, as the administration tries to find the best balance between not drowning out the Cornell coach, not drowning out the press bench, and honoring the memory of the Chad Potocky incident.  Can't imagine the Lynah press box denizens will be thrilled to have us right up in their ears either.

when talking about doing a slow sieve chant, i am referring to a seperate cheer unto itself.  I think doing it after a goal would be way too hard....it would probably require printing somethign up and handing it out to everyone, and maybe a little practice too......just too much effort. I'm fine with our after-goal-chant.  But I think the really slow "sieve" chant at some random point during the game (like any other cheer that someone might initiate) would be pretty effective.

Please, they invented an Ivy League Rule after that... don't you remember? ::rolleyes::

Stupid Armand is with the Celtics now I think.

Just a reminder to everyone to try and get the slow sieve chant going at some point for this weekend against Dartmouth and Harvard.

[Oat]

There was a small improvement (if any) in the game against Dartmouth tonight.

People tend to be really really excited when we play Hahvahd. So my guess is that, our cheers will be really really friggin fast and no one will be able to do anything about it  ::screwy::

[WillR]

Slow sieve would be nice.  I ll try to give it a go over in G.  I seem to recall that the wisconsin fans had a way of just making it hurt when they would score on DU.  God i hate them and their bucky badger.

Did anyone notice that tonight we had on the ice for Dartmouth..drum roll please
Lovejoy
Offers
Johnson
Swallow

if we see them again in Albany i think some chant that really harnesses this gift would be great

I kinda liked the "[point to goalie] Sucks! [point to Swallow] Swallows!" that appeared at one point last night.  Offers was also on the ice..."Offers! Sucks! Swallows!" or some combination of "Offers! Johnson! Sucks! Swallows! Lovejoy!" could be very entertaining

Harvard's Roster:  http://www.uscho.com/rosters/index.php?season=20052006&team=hu&gender=m

Something to note:
19  Johnson, Charlie, F, Sr  

Another Johnson! Wooooo.    If he gets a penalty, then we gotta chant "Where's your Johnson? Where's your Johnson?"


also anyone know how to pronounce the goalies last name? (Daigneau)
