Joy was perhaps the most prevalent, at least if reserve halfback Jamison Gibson-Park's soundtrack offered any indication.
"Probably the best music committee we've had," said captain Dane Coles as the team launched into a full-blooded chorus of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline.
"You've got to have good music throughout the year. It's been top notch."
The same can be said for the efforts on the field. If the music was eclectic, the Hurricanes' performances were anything but, rattling off a franchise-record eight straight wins to close the season and secure the title.
It's a title that proved elusive for so many Hurricanes of past vintage. Just last year, Conrad Smith and Ma'a Nonu departed Wellington with more than 100 caps each and without a trophy between them.
Jonah Lomu and Jerry Collins were equally unlucky, and the spectre of both men loomed over last night's occasion. This victory, according to Coles, was as much for those who had come before as it was for the current crop.
"You just look back - guys like Conrad, Norm Hewitt - all those ex-Hurricanes boys who have tried to win the trophy," Coles said.
"For me, that was a massive motivation.
"Jeremy Thrush, Christian Cullen, there were so many Hurricanes legends who couldn't get that thing. And just to bring it to the franchise, for the ex-players and for the region, I'm just so proud to be a Hurricane right now.
"It's bigger than us - it's bigger than this team. People deserved it who didn't get it, but to say the Hurricanes finally won a championship is just outstanding."
