Although Buzz's origins are rather ambiguous, it is known that Buzz showed
up at a game sometime in the early 1980s as an unofficial cheerleader, and
was soon adopted by the GT cheerleading squad. Today Buzz is a
member of the cheerleading squad, and attends a special mascot camp
hosted yearly by the National Cheerleaders Association at Myrtle Beach.
Because of his popularity, Buzz
is called upon for many duties as the official Tech mascot. Along with the
obvious duty of attending sporting events, Buzz is involved with charity
events, team photos, sports conventions, and official Georgia Tech events
such as the annual President's Dinner. Buzz can also be hired for social
gatherings, such as weddings and birthday parties.
Buzz tryouts are held at the same time as Gold and
White squad tryouts. If you are interested in trying out for Buzz or hiring
Buzz for an on or off campus event, contact
Mindy Whire.
