4:09 “It’s going great,” Andrew Van Wasshnova, Bronco Bash co-coordinator, said. “A few bumps along the way, but it’s finally getting underway.”

4:36 The best thing Greg Inglett, a WMU student, has gotten so far: a coupon for a free dub at Menna’s joint. “It’s also great having everyone together,” he said. Has he found anything new? “Yeah, the Water Ski team competes in a new bracket.”

4:43 Sprau tower is like the eye of the hurricane.

4:46 Hagen Fieberkorn and Jessie Sowwers, both WMU students, stand in line for the Celebration Cinema booth. They are apart of the ‘green team’ – volunteers helping to manage recycling during Bronco Bash. “We like recycling,” Fieberkorn said.
