The team's new dance was different in several ways from the dance that has been performed at Concordia's football home games this year. "We dance to a Guns 'n Roses mix, and it's a compila- tion of a jazz-funk and the jazz technique," co-captain sophomore Jessica Crawford said. "It is really nice to get those together because we usually focus more on the funk. It's nice to get in some of the studio jazz." Schmeck added that another difference was that the music that they danced to was metal music instead of the hip hop music that the team usually has along with their dance. Another change this year for the team is that they switched their name at the end of last year from Concordia's dance team to the Zea Mays which is the bio- logical nomenclature for corn. "We just thought when we got announced the team was sounding just a bit boring," Schmeck said.
