Pep Bands
The Carolina Band prides itself on providing spirit and school songs at every football game the South Carolina Gamecocks play. This includes providing smaller pep bands for all away games not attended by the full band.

Men's and Women's basketball and Women's volleyball games feature "Concocktion", the official pep band of the University of South Carolina. This band performs at several home volleyball games and all men's and women's home basketball games hosted at the Colonial Life Arena, the largest arena in the State of South Carolina and the tenth largest on-campus basketball facility in the United States. "Concocktion" travels with the basketball teams for both SEC and NCAA post-season tournaments.

Famous quotes containing the word bands:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
