ALMA MATER - KHS
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 8:27 am
Since my kids have been out of high school (long-time), I haven't attended basketball games regularly. This year it's been exciting because one of my friend's sons was on JV.
I was amazed that the KHS Alma Mater is not played anymore. I was told by one of the cheerleaders that if the band played the Alma Mater at the end of the game, the cheerleaders would just have to stand around until it was done and then the band would have to play Hail to the Wildcats! Good Lord!!! The Alma Mater should be sung with the cheerleaders LEADING IT! The Alma Mater is the LAST song played. Surely the band knows it -- it's Hail to the Wildcats played in a slower tempo! I'd like to know YOUR thoughts about this?[/b]
