Shocker Sound Machine brings spirit, traditions to home games

Jocelyn Mallonee, a piccolo flute player, holds up a sign after Wichita State’s men’s basketball team scored a 3-pointer. Mallonee is a member of the Shocker Sound Machine and has been performing at WSU home basketball games since 2021.

Bags of rice, old copies of The Sunflower, a rendition of “The Wheels on the Bus,” and a rallying war cry. These are just some traditions you might see or hear in action at a Wichita State basketball game in Charles Koch Arena. These rituals aren’t those of the basketball teams but of the Shocker Sound Machine.
