TBB Updates: Open Cup, Renope Trip, Walk A Mile
/Yo TBB,
We are all frustrated. Losing to that team, especially in that manner, is infuriating. Fortunately we get a chance for a do-over this Wednesday. Let's show our boys that we've still got their backs.
Upcoming Matches
US Open Cup 5/15: The club is trying a few new approaches that only apply to the match this Wednesday. For starters, there unfortunately won't be a tailgate this time. Secondly, they plan to only have the west sideline open with all seats as unassigned general admission. Just for this match, we'll be in section 101, mostly to be near the players' entrance and also to check out a different vantage point for once.
Watch Party 5/18: For our match against El Paso this Saturday at 6:30pm, we'll likely join the club watch parties (Chandos and/or New Glory), but we are working towards a new watch party home for future matches. Stay tuned for updates.
General Updates
Merchandise: Thanks to everyone for supporting our shirts and other items! Our design team works really hard and when you show your love for specific items, like the TBB Jersey, it is really satisfying. We hope to have the Jersey pre-orders by mid-June. The TBB Pride shirts should be here by the end of May. Oh and the red TBB crest shirt preorders are already here and ready for pick-up. Look for new items in the coming months.
Welcome Captains: The TBB Welcome Captains program has been a resounding success! Thanks to everyone that has volunteered! Our Head Captain, Scott Heller, would love to add some additional Captains to the team, so if you would like to help out, please email Scott.
TBB Community Wall: Looking to connect with other members of TBB? The TBB Community Wall on Facebook is a nice little distillation of TBB and features regular lively discussion. Just request to join here.
Brass Instruments: We could still use a few more trumpets, trombones or other brass instrument players for our banda. If you have even the slightest brass instrument experience, you are welcome to join. We might have some spare instruments (brass & plastic) hanging around if that is an obstacle. Email us if interested.
Away Days
Renope Trip 6/29: Want revenge? Let's show up to Reno with a bigger Travel Bridge Battalion contingent than they have home fans. While the ticket link will be available shortly, we've got a 20% TBB discount for June 28-30 at the Whitney Peak Hotel not far from the stadium. Once the rooms sellout, that's it, so if you are considering making the trip, just pull the trigger.
OC Trip 7/27: Interested in an epic Travel Bridge Battalion bus trip to Orange County? Let us
know by RSVPing on the facebook event page.
