Performance Units
The Tiger Pep Band is composed of performance entities in addition to its corps of musicians, including the Tiger Pep Band Tiger Maniacs, the Tiger Pep Band Tiger Color Guard, and the now-defunct Tiger Pep Band Tiger Drumline.
The musician component of the ensemble is not restricted to traditional band instruments. In addition to occasional use of kazoos, bicycle horns, and other auxiliary noise makers, the band has a violin section and has included performers playing oboe, string bass, and electric guitar.
The Tiger Pep Band currently wears black polo shirts featuring yellow side panels, with khaki pants. Earlier uniforms were variations of yellow, black, and white polo shirts worn with black pants and white shoes, meant to imitate the look of a marching band wearing spats.

Famous quotes containing the words performance and/or units:
“The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
