Micro Ethnographic Report

I'm at the Belmont baseball team's championship ring ceremony. Everyone is dressed nicely and there are lots of happy faces around the Vince Gill Room. The language from thre players in the room is almost completely about baseball. The coaches I overhear are speaking of this coming year and how much promise it holds. When the president of the school takes the stand  and the ceremony starts, he speaks a few words about last years performance, but quickly moves to his expectations for this year. It's very brief and the head coach walks up to the mic. He does not even speak of last year as much as the president, but instead starts using language like "repeat" and "back to back championships" and "NCAA Regional Championship." The rings are passed out and that concludes the banquet.
