What people are saying...
"Pep band was a way to show school spirit and share talents with one another. Friendships were made, as well as music!" ...Val
"A Powerful Encouraging People Band adds so much to the positive atmosphere and class to a collegiate campus athletic event! Our team and I just love what the band adds to home games. The band just adds another level of "fun" at the game--the crowd loves what you all add. "...Coach Kessler
"It was so exciting meeting new people and to have a place to play my instrument just for fun and to be able to share those goofy inside jokes that only pep band members seem to have."...Kallie
"Well, pep band gave me a chance to still use my flute without being overly involved...It also gave me a chance to get to know a few more people outside of my classes and dorm and it was fun being able to cheer our guys on at the bball games! It wasn't too time-consuming and it was a lot of fun! Thanks for all the work you put into it ...Bekah
"Pep Band was a great experience because it provided a chance to make new friends and enjoy two things that I love a lot, music and basketball. The band members were all a great group of people to work with, and working together as a team, we were able to create a new excitement at the games. Being able to generate that excitement at games made me want to come back each game night and do it all over again."...Jeremy
