Yep, we all heard about this today, too.
And my running bad joke is, “he’s going to look stupid in that uniform.”

I'm sad
I’m sure this dude is a good twirler but…the Blue Sapphire, to me, is supposed to be the PSU princess, everyone’s collective sweetheart. That this man is not.

She's the overall princess
PJ is queen of this campus though.

I wish him the best of luck. But when I think of a male baton twirler, only one man comes to mind.

Well, maybe two men. And they are both in that picture.

Disappointed
But, I can live with it as long as he:
1. Can throw the buttons twice as high
2. Handle 4 -6 flaming battons instead of 3
3. Do more crazy stuff in general

Not Cool
But apparently this happened before back in 1992. Any of the more senior members here have any recollection of how that turned out?
Not a "senior member"
But from what I’ve heard from Blue Band people is that John Mitchell, the guy you’re referring to was really, really good.

If you've ever seen John Mitchell with the Alumni Blue Band at Homecoming...
…he’s kind of awesome. He can stand on the 10 yard line, throw the baton off the 5 yard line, and have it bounce back to him. It’s weird as hell.

I heard Michigan has a male twirler, too
He also happens to play QB for the football team
