Students are rich, poor; black, white; popular and geeks. But all this is overlooked by the music, passion for the game and most importantly, the people. Some cannot be interupted during the game while others pay no attention. Some are so into the music and being in sinc with the game that they don’t appear to be having any fun. And some come close to making out in the stands. No matter the differences, the common bond these students share is that they are making friends they will have for life.
Band members pile onto one of three busses that transports them to games. Students often talk to firends, play games on their cell phones and play the occasional game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
