The Story of Bulldog Appreciation
In the busyness of everyday life, we often forget to pause, breathe, and reflect. We get so caught up in checking off the next "thing" on our list that we don't even know what task we just completed. We begin to take things for granted and not appreciate the world around us. As a way to step back and reflect, each week I will post a brief story about a relationship with a client. This is an opportunity to share our collective experience and thank each of them for their commitment to and support of Drake University and Drake Athletics. This is what I call "Bulldog Appreciation".
Week 2 - Laura Brill & Rebel Rams
I've had the opportunity to work with many groups during my time at Drake University ranging from scout troops to basketball teams and dance groups to choirs. As a singer myself, I relish the opportunity to work with choirs and create the memorable experience of singing the National Anthem at a Bulldog home game. Laura, a fellow Drake Alum herself, has been wonderful to work each year. She's always on top of organizing the Rebel Rams and spreading the word to their families so parents, siblings, grandparents, and others know how to watch their little superstars.

The Rebel Rams have performed the National Anthem at a game during each of the last two seasons and I am confident this will become a consistent event on the calendar. I think I can speak for Laura when I say that the girls absolutely LOVE the experience. Some show a bit of nervousness as they walk to mid-court in front of a few thousand spectators, but as they walk by following their electrifying performance, I see nothing but cheeky smiles. I am so incredibly thankful to Laura and the Rebel Rams for their willingness to perform and I am excited to welcome them back to the Knapp Center for many years to come.
