The Scorpion baseball team has qualified for the National Junior College Athletic Association Region 14 tournament for the first time since 1979, before most of the players were even born. There was a great turnout of support for the team from students, staff and faculty. The student organization Alpha Kappa Psi was very visible and loud in its support of the team Thursday. Then, it s on the Region 14 Tournament in Tyler, which will draw the top four teams from the North Zone and South Zone. The tournament winner advances to the national tournament.
Plans are under way to have a pep rally for the baseball team.
They have been chosen to perform at the University of Northern Colorado Jazz Festival. About 50 students will leave by bus on Thursday, April 27 and return April 30. The students are raising funds to help pay for the trip. Both jazz bands will perform in a spring concert on Tuesday, April 25 at 8 p.m. in the Lecture Hall of the Science Engineering Technology Building Lecture Hall. They are going to hear lots of fine bands, lots of bands that come from very large schools and many of these universities are the flagship universities of the state, said Fine Arts Associate Professor and Director of the Jazz Band Terry Tomlin.
