History

When other pep bands play this cheer, one of our trumpets will typically play the solo at the end.
This cheer was added to the cheer sheets in January 2007, when the cheer sheets were rewritten to add songs and make the print more legible. Prior to 2007, the cheer was unwritten, save for the solo at the end. While in Steve's possession, that copy of the solo was lost, so it was written into the cheer sheets to prevent future problems.
Dan Schwarting tried the solo on a mellophone at a women's game in Feburary 2007. Results were far less than spectacular.
