Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, The Thunder Crew was officially started by a group of Georgia College students in the summer of 2009. Thunder Crew’s mission is to elevate school spirit & rejuvenate a sense of Bobcat pride. Three students came together to form this organization to define a unified student spirit section at athletic events. Thunder Crew works to promote all athletic events and to increase campus wide participation and excitement for athletic achievement. Since it’s founding in 2009, Thunder Crew has formed three committees consisting of 14 staff members and six executive members. Thunder Crew; however, does not view itself as an exclusive membership, but rather an inviting organization to include all members of the student body. All students are invited to attend Thunder Crew meetings Mondays at 7 p.m. in the Centennial Center. Comments, concerns, and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated.

Thunder Crew is currently pushing to enhance the tailgating experience for all students. Tailgating is a new tradition that was created by SGA in collaboration with the Thunder Crew. It is designed to construct an opportunity for all students to congregate in a celebration of Bobcat athletics. Students are encouraged to come to the tailgates and enjoy a positive experience at athletic events and then join each other at the game in the designated student section. The organization’s most recent accomplishment was the establishment of two 88 by 15 feet banners in the Centennial Center. The banners are intended to generate a sense of pride and enthusiasm for Bobcat athletics the moment one steps foot into the arena. Thunder Crew is looking into creating Bobcat windscreens for the baseball and softball fields to carry this pride from the Centennial Center to West Campus come next year. Thunder Crew hopes to continue the tailgating experience throughout all bobcat athletic sporting events. The organization encourages students to participate in such events, as all students are welcome members of the Thunder Crew. The more participation the more expansion there is to come for Thunder Crew’s establishment of Bobcat pride. Thunder Crew looks forward to seeing all students at all the sporting events this year to cheer on the Bobcats. We hope to bring home a third consecutive Commissioner’s Cup and continue to be the best in the Peach Belt Conference! In Bobcat pride, Patrick Gamble, President Thunder Crew
