Fourth Annual Circle City Classic big event

By ANNETTE L. MORRIS Assistant Managing Editor "Classic hysteria” was experienced inside the Hoosier Dome last Saturday afternoon as the Marauders of Central State University and the Tigers of Tennessee State battled during the fourth annual Circle City Gassic. Band members and majorettes in their red, white and blue (Ten-

nessee), and glittering gold and white, graced the football field in style, showing Indy what they are made of. During halftime, the Marauders presented their version of Freddie Lewis’ "Jam Tonight” and Michael Jackson’s “I’m Bad.” The crowd roared and cheered. Fans were dancing in their seats, the concession areas and even the corridors.

Two-year old Ebony remarked, "I really like that music.” Dressed in blue jeans and a white Tennessee sweatshirt, she added, "I’m bad.” The excitement continued as the Tigers rendered “Down Home Blues” and "Rock Steady.” Shimmering and shaking in rhythm, rocking is just what their girls did. After several interviews, The Recorder found that the majority of

people were there just to have fun and could be satisfied with the victory of either team. However, Central went on to defeat Tennessee 31-28. “I am astonished at all the preparation made for this day,” said Ivan Johnson, visiting from Chicago. “My friends and I drove down here just for today and we wish it would never end. ’’ The estimated attendance of the

Gassic was47,415. There were concerts, parties and dances everywhere in the city. A capacity crowd of over 600 people filled the Hyatt Regency for a “classic gala,” sponsored by LITE Beer, from 7 p.m. until midnight Friday night. Immediately following the “Battle of the Bands,” which took place after the game, there was a post game party in the Indiana Conven-

tion Center Hall C, also sponsored by LITE Beer. The party was hosted by the Indianapolis Panhellenic Council, and featured Shirley Murdock and Band. There were many more festivities and events, all of which made this Circle Gty Classic more fantastic than the year before.
