‘Do yall do this for every home game?”’ A new sound reached the ears of our infamous fans. Fading in from raucous chants came the joyful noise of the fantastic Boogie Band. The band is composed of members Dossie McCraw on drums, Ben Cardwell and Keith Cornell — sax, Joel Harris and Ben Hunt — trombone, Doug Rober- tson — trumpet, Mike Kassenter — baritone, and Rodney Sadler on the tub a. These guys performed several up-tempo tunes to help rile up the fans. The new sounds added a tremen- dous punch to the already imagina- tive and rambunctions fans. ‘“‘Without a good crowd, the Boogie Band wouldn’t have been anything,”’ said Dossie, who, along with Ben Cardwell, based the Boogie Band on a similar outfit at Busch Gardens. “Our version is more casual than theirs,’’ added Dossie, but the fans love it. The fans didn’t always need a band to get them stirred up. At several im- portant football and basketball con- tests, paint adorned many faces. Also, banners, signs, and flags made their way into the gym, despite being con- trary to Western-District rules. But the addition of the Boogie Band had a great impact on the fans. “It was such a change of pace,” said Cardwell, a welcome change of pace. The reputation of the Boogie Band and the fans even reached Virginia High School League referees. One official, after arriving at a basketball game, was overheard asking, “Where’s this band that I’ve been hearing so much about?”’ At halftime, Rowdiness permeates the atmosphere during a fanatical pep rally. Beams of happiness adorn all the faces — ‘We got out of 6th period.”’ the band played and the fans boogied, a heartwarming sight to see. The referee couldn’t have been dis- appointed with the band’s perfor- mance. The dedication of our fans to sport- ing events is phenomenal. Many students followed the football team to every game. They even showed up in Albemarle for the ‘Mud Bowl” dur- ing the ‘‘Flood of 85.”’ During a home game against Halifax the student body ringed the stadium with posters. One former student exclaimed, “‘Do y'll do this for every home game?” No, but the rowdiness and support of the fans surely helped our sport teams post some of the best seasons in years.
