Band
In 1993 the 620 CKRM Saskatchewan Roughrider Pep Band was formed under the direction of band director, Bob Mossing. The Band plays at each Saskatchewan Roughrider home game, both in the stands and in front of the stadium before games. The band was fashioned after a USA College football team band, and it is a high energy “rah-rah” group.
The band was the first in the CFL, to be fashioned after a USA College Band. Its first major trip was to the 1993 Grey Cup in Calgary, Alberta. The Pep Band has gone to every Grey Cup since 1993. The Band comprises volunteer musicians who enjoy a good time and the members range in age from the late teens to seniors.
