I'm a novice at best.
I've only been in costume for one game. The previous mascot-guy was homecoming king so he realized he needed a sub and called me morning-of, I said sure. Despite the high temperatures and the fact that the four fingered, shedding, one-size-fits-all costume was made for someone 8inches taller than me, IT WAS AWESOME!!!

I'm lined up to mascot next year I think, so yeah, I'd say I'm a mascot.A high school mascot anyway.
