A member of the Wichita State band celebrates the Shockers’ 64 – 58 victory over the Dayton Flyer at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. (Mar. 17, 2017)
You hear them every game. They’re that group of rowdy musicians who yell during the game, shake their keys when the Shockers are about to win, and lead the crowd in being loud during timeouts.
That’s right, they’re Shocker Sound, the Wichita State pep band.
This group of instrument toting students are present at every home and tournament game.
Jeremy Thomas, a member of Shocker Sound, said the cheers and chants the band uses throughout the game are important to the environment.
