Is this your first time wearing a mascot costume? Then you may want to do some research! Especially if you will be wearing the mascot costume for your school, you’ll want to find out what some of the previous mascots did and if they were successful. If you are unable to find those who wore the mascot costume previously, ask other people. If they attended games or special events, they may remember and be able to tell you how the mascots entertained the crowd.
Watch video of mascots in college and the pros! See what their routine is, how they manage to engage the crowd, and what makes them successful and entertaining. Youtube is a great resource, so use it to your advantage!
If you’ll be wearing the mascot costume for a school or university, chances are, you’ll be working with the school’s cheerleaders and pep band. Talk with both groups to see what kind of routines they are doing and if they’d be interested in doing any routines with the mascot. If nothing else, at least find out what songs the pep band will be playing so you can plan some routines yourself. Choreographed routines are always an added treat for spectators and add to the professionalism of your routine!
