A terribly exciting, touching Pep Fest is held at B-B-E

A crowd of about 650 students gathered this morning at the B-B-E High School gymnasium for a rousing Pep Fest and send-off rally for the state-tournament bound B-B-E Jaguar boys' basketball team. The Pep Fest had it all, a speedy robot, dancing cheerleaders, energetic elementary-age fans as well as a sharp-sounding Pep Band that livened up the atmosphere for all who attended.

Getting the Pep Fest warmed up...


...and while the following video does not do justice to the talent displayed here, you can get an idea of the "Thriller" rendition by staff members of the B-B-E Elementary school...

While watching the K-12 student body go through single-file alongside the boys' basketball players and student managers giving high fives and wishing the state-bound group good luck, the "B-B-E school pride" was about as high as I've ever seen it. It was touching. I have never been prouder to be a Jaguar.

These younger kids will rave about this for quite awhile. The really neat part about all of it is that they'll go home and recount the pep fest to their parents and beam with pride that they got to meet every one of the Jaguars today.

Special.
