They’re back! After a
summer that consisted of some R&R, but lots of work and prep for the
upcoming year, our Spirit Support teams have finally settled in for another
busy academic year.
If this is your first year reading our blog, Spirit Support
consists of the nationally ranked Hofstra University Cheer and Dance teams, the
Pep Band, and our famous mascot duo, Kate and Willy.
Even though our teams are nationally ranked, we are always
looking for ways to improve and continue to challenge the 110+ students that
are committed to our programs. One new
change this year is the addition of leadership positions within the Pep
Band. We are excited to welcome three awesome
captains to the program, who are the main go-to contacts for our band.
Our other work in progress is our growing mascot
program. If you’ve watched American Pie,
you’re probably familiar with “Band Camp” but there’s also Cheer Camp, Dance
Camp, and yes, Mascot Camp! This was our
first summer sending some of our mascots to camp to help them learn more tricks
of the trade…and Kate and Willy LOVED it!
If you missed any of our team’s opening performances during Welcome Week, you
only have a few more weeks of waiting! The
Pep Band will be entertaining the crowd with some new tunes at the homecoming
parade and Cheer and Dance have the honor of closing the awesome pre-show
lineup for Vibe Live! Stay tuned for
September 29th!
If you’re interested in joining our mascot program, we can
use an extra few sets of “paws!” Please
