He’s a fixture on the sidelines of the Virginia Commonwealth University basketball court. Whether it’s a men’s or women’s game, he takes his position directly behind one of the nets. He’s not a ball boy, a manager, a coach or a photographer. He’s Ryan Kopacsi, the director of the VCU Pep Band.
“My first impression was that he wasn’t like any other band director,” said Julie Pence, a VCU sophomore and member of the Rowdy Ram student section. “I was just really surprised. He seemed to be having so much fun with things and he was a little risqué. He was just really, really cool and not like anything I’d ever seen before.”
Pence said the VCU Pep Band stands out from other collegiate instrumental groups because of their more modern musical selections that range from big brass pieces to Beyoncé songs, and of course, because of their colorful director.
Known for his outrageous dance moves, and fun-loving style of directing, Kopacsi has quickly become a fan favorite with students and families alike. But who is the man groovin’ with the Rowdy Rams? He recently sat down to answer some questions and help us find out.
