Through the forces of UW Band and Cheer, our two groups spent a lot of time together. It only took Kyle about 3 years before he realized Alisa even existed on the cheer squad. Let’s face it, a band member dating a cheerleader is usually a 1 in 1000 chance. This particular drummer was known in our cheer group as ‘Earrings’ since you could always see him sporting his staple blinged or W earrings. It all began on an away trip to face Auburn University in Alabama. After our sad loss, band and cheer went to hangout at the hotel pool since what else is there to do? Alisa was under the impression the cheer group would go out to eat and was all dolled up while swimming. Band and Kyle were playing Chicken. Kyle was curious enough to ask our mascot who that Asian girl was. He didn’t have the courage to speak with her in person, but a couple of weeks later he randomly added her on Facebook and took his shot by sending a Facebook Messenger at 12am (probably partying) saying he hoped we could hangout. Long story short, they have been inseparable since!
