Campus Scavenger Hunt: Homecoming Pep-Rally

      This passed Thursday was SCSU Homecoming Pep-Rally, and because I am a member of the field hockey team her at Southern, I had to attend.  The pep-rally was supposed to directly follow the Men’s Blue and White scrimmage, but it didn’t start until an hour after the end of the game. Now for those who don’t know me very well, I don’t like pep-rallies and I don’t like waiting. So standing around, waiting for the pep-rally to start isn’t exactly what I call fun.

     

After standing around and being moved from one side of the court to the other and back again, I notice a strange man standing across the court. He was dressed in a suit of spandex with a white mask over his head, and he was very still. I pointed him out to one of my friends on the team; she said he was a manikin, that he couldn’t be real.  I shrugged it of because they were finally announcing the host of this event. Music starts playing and all of a sudden the “manikin” dances onto the court. Happy Halloween everyone, the freaked my friend and I out real good!

       

After we all go use to the fact a guy in a creepy white skintight mask was talking to us, the pep-rally continued. First they announced all the sports, leaving football for last of course. Some of the teams had their freshman do a ridiculous dance, but not my team. Most of didn’t want to b their any way, so we planned on making it as short as possible. Hey! I’m not complaining! So when they called Field Hockey, we walked out with our backs facing the crowd. We walked straight across the court and out of sight.

     

      There were performances by the cheerleading squad, the stomp team, the good dance team, and the bad one; I don’t remember their names). The bad dance team isn’t really that bad, if you don’t compare them to the good dance team. Their real problem is that they do the same moves over and over again. But what do I really know about dance? The stomp team was amazing though. Every move was in exact unison; I have never seen anything like it before. They ended the pep-rally with a bang.
