Pep Band
During the spring semester, many marchers trade in their uniforms for striped purple-and-white rugby shirts and transform into the Holy Cross Crusader Pep Band. The Band attends the Men's and Women's basketball games played at Holy Cross, as well as selected hockey games. With luck, the basketball teams make it to the NCAA Tournament and the Band travels along with them. The BC Eagles were the Crusaders' basketball rivals until 2006 but currently include American University and Bucknell University teams. Recent NCAA trips include the 2009 competition at American University and the 2007 competition in Columbus, Ohio for the Men's team and Raleigh, North Carolina for the Women's team. Past trips have included St. Louis, Missouri, Indianapolis, Indiana, and College Park, Maryland.

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
