Gross Catholic High School Trivia Night Fund-Raiser Rocks the Gym! 
The Gross Catholic High School gymnasium was the place to be on Saturday, 2/21/15. Trivia Night has become one of the highlights of the school year, and this year was perhaps the biggest crowd yet. Estimates place attendance at something near 650 fun-loving Gross High supporters who enjoyed tasty fried chicken, sausage & peppers, potatoes au gratin, baked beans, many delicious desserts and several kegs of beer. Another sponsor, Margarita Magic, provided a nearly-endless supply of the frozen concoctions that helped folks hold on to another great night of Gross High School spirit.
Coach Tim Johnk got festivities underway by thanking sponsors and attendees and underscoring the need for such fund-raisers. Trivia Night 2015 was specifically intended to help fund the building of a new weight-training facility, chapel renovation and the installation of turf on the practice field. Such ongoing improvements keep Daniel J. Gross Catholic High School at the very forefront of quality education in the metro.
Gross High alum and popular Husker Buzz/Husker Online personality Sean Callahan emceed Trivia Night as he has done for several years. Nebraska Cornhusker football fans are very familiar with Sean and his sports commentaries; his wit and intimate connection to both the Cougars and the Huskers kept the evening on track and upbeat.
The trivia categories had something for everyone from sports and classic cars to music to sixth grade math (the toughest category for me). It was fun to hear applause upon a recognizable guitar riff or the brief silence as contestants tried their skills at those sixth grade math problems. Funny, I only got one of those questions right, but I distinctly remember passing the sixth grade…
Midwest Sound & Lighting was again a proud sponsor of Gross Catholic High School’s Trivia Night. We used a small format Yamaha mixer, Shure wireless microphones and two pairs of phenomenal JBL VRX-932 loudspeakers to ensure that each and every trivia question and guitar riff was heard clearly and without a hint of feedback, even in the noisy and extremely reverberant environment of the Gross High gymnasium.
