Traditions

There are a lot of traditions here in the HMB, but these are some Melly favorites.

 
 
 
Shwing
 
Shwing is a melly game day tradition during our warmups.  Its a stretch involving hands on the hips. 

"Left, shwing, right..."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Melly Dance Party
 
Some love it, some dread it, and strangers stare at us like we're lunatics. A Melly Dance Party takes place before every performance, after warm ups.  Instruments get set down safely out of the way while the section does a melly mosh pit.

"Its time for a... Melly dance Party! Unts Unts Unts Unts..."

 

Melly/Sax Rec Show Performance

Every year the mellies team up with the alto and tenor saxaphones to perform a melly/sax ensemble at the pre-game peformance in the rec building.  To watch a melly/sax performance visit:
