Pep Band Opens First Year page eleven/uncc basketball/december 3,1974 In its inaugural year on [campus, the UNCC Pep Band is [now in full swing and will play lat all home basketball games land away games at both [Appalachian State and N. C. [state this season. The cheerleaders are [working up pom-pom routines [to go along with songs the Pep [Band will play. The band will [coordinate halftime [entertainment at the games and [will back voice major Cora [Pearson in the "Star Spangled [Banner" before each home [game. Student director Robbie [Cohen and Pep Band President [Tom Henry were instrumental [in choosing the band's song [selections. Their choices include ['The Horse,' '25 or 6 to 4,' ['Horse with No Name,' 'California Dreaming,' and I 'Jesus Christ Superstar.' The 24-member Pep Band consists of eight trumpets, eight clarinets, four trombones, one flute, three saxophones, an electric piano, a bass guitar, and a drumset. The band has not yet picked a school song but hopes to do this before basketball season ends in early March. Cohen and Henry have ample help in directing the Pep Band. Other officers include students Sheila Swygert, Ann Young, and Pam Kimsey, and UNCC Sports Information Director Dave Taylor. The volunteer group has proposed to the Finance Committee of Student Legislature a budget of $1,100. This sum is to include music, uniforms, and stands, and (if approved) should be a needed supplement to the $300 provided to the Pep Band by the athletic department. The 1974-75 UNCC Pep Band Players Visit Thompson's \WVFN Promotes On November 16 members of the UNCC basketball team visited Thompson's Childrens Horre of Charlotte. Members of Thompson's basketball team were given advice and assistance for their upcoming season. UNCC basketball players attending the event were Stewart Zane, Jon Heath, Rick Haneberg, Bob Fogleman, Chip Gillody, Ken Angel, Dave Maas, and Bob Ball. Members of the UNCC basketball team gave the Thompson team an exhibition of basic offensive and defensive formations with emphasis on individual and team participation. After this the members of the Thompson team were given one on one instruction in passing, shooting, defense, and offense. Dave Taylor, UNCC Sports Information Director, informed the Journal that the Thompson team will be invited to one of the 49er home games as our team's guest. Jon Heath of the 49ers will continue to work with the Thornpson team in their efforts to become abetter team. The Journal wishes to commend the UNCC team for taking the time from a busy season to help the members of the Thompson team. 49er Basketball WVFN, behind the I leadership of Sports Director jJim Eddings, is planning to I carry a number of UNCC home ] basketball games this year, as I well as the Appalachian State land North Carolina State games [delayed. The crew consisting of I approximately ten persons have [already recorded the two [preseason games as trial runs in [an attempt to iron out their problems, so they should be ready for the Hardin-Simmons I game. The play by play [announcing is being done by ] Henry Carrouth with color [provided by Eddings, Bob Davis, [ and Michael Evans. Handling the [statistics for the crew are Jane 1 Ross, Susan Sluss, Steve Kay, I and David W. Ledbetter. The [engineers are Bob Small and T. 1 L. Smith. The station is carrying the [ games for two major reasons. ] First, to provide the people [involved with experience for possible careers in sports broadcasting and secondly, to provide students who may not be able to attend the basketball games with a way to hear the games. As there was no broadcasting of last year's games, the staff is largely inexperienced. The majority of students working with the staff are first or second year students gaining first hand experience. The ASU and N.C. State games, because of their special interest to the students here, will be recorded and played over WVFN at a later date. The cost of broadcasting these games live would be more than the station could afford in their present financial state. However, the broadcasting crew will be on hand for most of the home games.
