And, a team with a 10-4 record deserves some flowers, and the Jacksonville Jags got theirs before the team’s takedown of New York Jets last Sunday. The pregame fun included a debut performance of a new original song, Like a Jaguar, performed on the field by The ROAR. We talk to the song’s producer and the cheer team’s captain about the process of creating the original track and how it felt to perform it live for the first time.
Guests:
- Danny Lobo, owner and producer at Vibe Music Productions
- Lauren Prater, captain of the Jags ROAR
