Traditions
The Series, written by Merritt Lutz and Joel Leach in the late 1950s and finished in 1966, is one of the most historic cadences is in the nation and is still played in the same form by the drumline today. Additionally, we have played Martian Mambo, Ditty, and X for many years. The drumline also plays a 3rd or 4th quarter cheer piece every game; this is new each year. The
SMB learns a new show for each home game for the year.
