Manager Traditions
Things that are traditionally done by (or to) the managers
Items Passed from Manager to Manager
There are several items which are passed from one season's managers to the next. These items include:
- Cymbal of Managerial Power
- Manager jacket
- Cube of old paperwork
Plausible Deniability
The managers of the band maintain a plausible excuse that they don't know that any alcoholic beverages have come on any of the road trips.
Managers in the Snow
It is traditional that on at least one road trip, both of the managers of the band are thrown into the snow.
Announcements
During rehearsals, when the managers go up to the front of the room to make the announcements for the week (e.g. details for the upcoming games and road trips), the rest of the band chants:
Announcements, announcements, annouuuuuuuncements!
We sold our cow, we sold our cow
We have no need for your bull now
Have you ever heard a windbag, a windbag, a windbag?
Have you ever heard a windbag, well you'll hear one now.
When you're up you're up, and when you're down you're down,
And when you're only halfway up, you're neither up or down.
Announcements, announcements, annouuuuuuuncements!
