Watching at home. Can't get down. Looks like fun. That conductor looks like a Dictator.

If you haven't gone to google and searched "Toronto Argos", do yourself a favor and try it.

Some family stuff came up and I could not make it.... Shout out to everyone who did .... Sounds like it was a great time.... Go ARRGOS !!
Re: GREY CUP CELEBRATION MAPLE LEAF SQUARE
Great vibes in the Square today, although to me it looked like a smaller crowd than in 22 but whatever. It surely will be bigger next year and the year after that.
Speaking of which, the highlight for me was Keith Pelley promising that BMO will be packed next year. It made me wonder if MLSE will finally open their change purse and drop a few toonies on promoting the team.
I kinda think they will. Pelley, Larry and Lastman all looked like they were having the time of their lives today. The Argos may not be a big deal to them, but these guys love a winner, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them try to capitalize on the team’s success.

getting invited onstage was a very pleasant last minute surprise. (But good thing I always have a baton handy.)
Thank you to all who've sung the song this year. I think it's done a lot to help build the community. In Vancouver, in the convention centre, or the BC Place concourse, or at a raucous sports bar after the win, it was really easy to get people singing.
I'm very grateful for the team pushing the song this year and it was especially fun to sing it in BC, the home of Dal Richards, the late BC Lions bandleader and creator of the 1968 album 'CFL Songs' that gave us 'Go Argos Go.' (But I was sad to hear from a few Lions fans that their new owner doesn't like 'Roar You Lions Roar' - from the same album - so they don't play that at BC games any more.)

Re: GREY CUP CELEBRATION MAPLE LEAF SQUARE
The songs are dated of course. I was 1 when that album came out, but my 29 year old son and nephews all like it. The nostalgic feel is great and it connects Argo history with Argo present. It is the perfect TD celebration for the stadium and you on the jumbotron conducting is the cherry on top. It is great to see the team include you today and at the games.

Re: GREY CUP CELEBRATION MAPLE LEAF SQUARE
Contrary to the wishes of the corporate owners, IMO, it is high time to reintroduce the Argonotes back to the game operations. Anytime I watch college football in the US, the bands are a big part of the game atmosphere especially in the southeast. Band music alternated with piped-in music would enhance the experience and would flow better between playsScooter McCray wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2024 7:50 pmThe songs are dated of course.
