Halftime entertainment

I agree the Bravettes should be more integral. It always seems like they are an afterthought. Especially when there performance is during a time out.

I’ve always enjoyed watching the teams from EPIC and the local grade schools. The crowd is usually pretty engaged when they play and I have to think it’s a huge rush for the players.

I have always enjoyed watching the Bravettes perform, but the game management team could do a little better job promoting their performances by listing them on the team schedule, and giving them a more proper introduction with some arena lighting features when they come onto the floor. Or better yet, make them a regular feature every halftime (except perhaps during student break).
And, it would be nice if the Bravettes had a dedicated web page on the BU Athletics website (unless I missed it), and maybe a link for fans to donate and help support them.
I was able to find this web page that has a little about their history - https://sites.google.com/mail.bradle...danceteam/home
And, here are a few social media web pages for them if anyone want to give them a follow-

Here's an article from three years ago about the Bravettes and some of the things they struggle with - https://com.bradley.edu/newslab/2021...eserve-better/

Does anyone else remember the Merri-N-Ettes? They were a forerunner of the Bravettes.
It was an all-female student dance team that danced and performed at halftime and sometimes during timeouts of the Bradley basketball games as well as performing at other events. They existed from the 1950's, through the1980's, and it's possible they might have existed even earlier. They were very popular and well promoted by Bradley, as can be seen in this page from a 1977-78 Bradley basketball game program.

I 100% agree. I feel like more recognition should also go to the cheerleading team and the band as well. They are at games all throughout the season and games during winter break.
