Humboldt, IA – After a long time away the Humboldt High School pep band returns to the gym.

On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Wildcat pep band made it’s first appearance at a basketball game for the 2020-21 season after COVID-19 mitigation efforts had kept them away. The last time the band had been in the gym was during the volleyball season.

The pep band started the varsity night with a playing of the National Anthem. They performed the schools fight song for when the players made their way into the gym along with popular songs such at Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive.”

Almost making the return to the gym for the first time this season was the Humboldt High School student section.

Though the basketball season is well underway having the pep band and student section return gave the gym that electric atmosphere fans enjoy at a high school athletic event.
