When going to football and basketball games, there are many who give the team support. The fans and cheerleaders are always ready to cheer and support the Raiders , but much of the support is given by the band.
Beginning with the varsity boys' games, the band played "The Star Spangled Banner" as all who were present turned towards the U.S. flag. Then, the cheerleaders began their routine, and the crowd enthusiastcally clapped with the beat of the school's fight song. The band continued to contrubute to the spirit thoughout the game.
"I think that the band's music is important to support our team," said Monica Haug, fr.
When half-time approached, the band entertained the crowd. Favorite songs included, "Wipe Out", "Louie Louie", "Purple People Eater", and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
