It's Ryan verses the Irish in the Winter Drumline's version of the Final Four for their 2005 show!

Designed with the basketball fan in mind, the game kicks off with a "Stomp" like theme involving basketballs and players, cheerleaders, and referees. The two teams, Ryan (the bass drums) and the Irish (the snares and tenors) then move through the warmup sequence including lay-ups and agility drills.

The tension builds up to the jump ball and into the first half of the game. The show is complete with illegal picks, zone defenses, coaches arguing, and even a crazed Father Ryan fan. And what game would be compete without a halftime show which featured the front ensemble's ragtime version of "Sweet Georgia Brown"!

This year's production has proven to be one of Father Ryan's finest shows to date.
