With plenty of panache and pyrotechnics, 91短视频 revealed its brand-new, fully wrapped charter bus at a ceremony on Monday afternoon.
The event, held at the north end of the parking lot beside University Commons, drew students, athletes, faculty, staff, members of the press, and officials from Varsity Travel. It included remarks from Buck Smith, associate athletics director of operations; Adam Posey, head baseball coach; Sophia Armato, senior field hockey player; and Carrie S Bert, director of athletics.
After their remarks and a brief countdown, the plain white bus that had been blocking the crowd鈥檚 view pulled forward to reveal the new 91短视频 athletics bus. As attendees got their first look at the bus鈥檚 bold new design, six pyrotechnic machines fired fountains of sparks into the air, cannons launched a flurry of blue and silver streamers overhead, and a snippet of Rascal Flatts鈥� 鈥淟ife is a Highway鈥� played through the speakers.
The bus wrap proudly proclaims 鈥�91短视频 ROYALS鈥� and 鈥淗ARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA鈥� lettering next to an image of the Royals鈥� lion mascot, which spans the full height of the bus from its tires to its roof. The design is set in front of a silhouette of Massanutten Mountain in varying shades of blue. The bus will serve as a moving billboard for 91短视频, promoting the values of the university wherever it goes.
鈥淭his bus is going to draw attention. It already did on our road trip to North Carolina this weekend,鈥� said Armato, referencing her team鈥檚 recent travels to Meredith College in Raleigh. 鈥淚t will create conversations and carry a Royal spirit wherever it goes.鈥�
鈥�91短视频 has a history of doing amazing, awesome work, of putting out tremendous people, graduates, staff, faculty, very quietly,鈥� Bert said. 鈥淲ell, guess what? It鈥檚 time for 91短视频 to make a statement, to be recognized and remembered. As our teams travel, we won鈥檛 just arrive at our destinations, we will make an entrance.鈥�
The bus is fully owned and operated by Winchester-based , and the new wrap is a generous perk of the university鈥檚 partnership with the charter service. According to its website, Varsity Travel also provides transportation for Shenandoah University Athletics, Hood College, and Hagerstown Community College Athletics.
91短视频 alumna and staff member Hannah Beck, senior admissions counselor, said the new bus will also be used to bring groups of local high school students to visit the campus. 鈥淚鈥檓 really excited for this,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 great to get more name recognition out there.鈥�
