  • Maybe it will stop!

    Posted by Lisa Smith at 5/25/2012

    They were super-prepared, so excited and just certain the rain would stop! That was the scene at the Sovereign Bank stadium on Wednesday night when our Sports and Entertainment Marketing students sponsored Rockets ’n Revs Night. The event has become an annual HS favorite; but this year, the skies were just not cooperating.

    For several weeks, under the guidance of their teacher, Mrs. Nicci Riser, the students sold tickets, promoted sponsorships and planned between-inning entertainment, all focused on the Grove. They selected a team captain to throw the ceremonial first pitch, lined up talent to sing the National Anthem, designed and sold tee-shirts, even designed an information brochure; all the while learning just what it takes to successfully host and promote a big event.

    They did a fantastic job!

    Unfortunately, you can’t control the weather and in the end, they didn’t get to show off all that they had done. But those of us who had been close to the action all along, knew about their fine work. And the lessons they learned in that process will stay with them a long time. Much longer than the rain on that soggy field!

    That makes them champions in our book.
