Yes, the 99 robot was in a pep rally.....but all it did was spin around the gym with a giant sign that said "I love seniors", to which the school went nuts about...it was also an opportunity to sing happy birthday to our human player, Amanda.
We won UTC in 2000 and we had to go announce it ourselves when we came back on monday...though on Friday, every time we rose in rank, we'd call the high school....we called at 16th, 10th, 8th, 5th, 4th, and finally, 1st. We found out later that after every time we'd call, they'd make an announcement on the intercom about it to the school...and it was also said an English teacher said after we hit 1st was "Good, they can't get any higher, now we won't be interrupted anymore."
Though, after the basketball team's 53-loss streak, after they won a game everything was dropped to make sure the basketball team would get a decent pep rally a few days later.

PS - Ive told my team leader that if we do ever get a spot in the pep rally he has to call all of the gradutates back to watch it
