Pep Band Appreciation!
Hello! I am new here, although I have been a lurker for about a year now, and as my name implies I graduated last May and I was a member of the Pep Band!

During my time watching this forum I have seen lots of nice comments about the Band, but they were spread across different threads, So I thought it would be really nice to make a thread just dedicated to the Band to get all of those types of comments in one place! I am still a member of the Band's Facebook group, so I plan to share this thread there to help them get hyped (dare I say peppy? Rimshot) before the game tomorrow! They just traveled down to Charleston today, so I think they'd really appreciate it!

Pep Band Appreciation!
We love the Pep Band. I can hardly play a radio so I've always been impressed with our PB.

RE: Pep Band Appreciation!
Thanks for all the nice comments! I'll send them a link to this soon. Just out of curiosity, do we have any people on this board who are also alums of the Pep Band (or maybe even the Marching Band)?

Agreed. And for what it's worth, I just made a contribution to the pep band online. (Haven't told the Mrs. She'll read about it here first.)

There was at one time a pep band alum who occasionally posted here. Dont remember who though. We had a fairly extensive old thread dedicated to it, but cant find it now.

I send money as well. They add so much.

I do wish they could learn to play the W&M Victory March. Such s great tune for W&M that has been just lost.

Maybe because we weren't getting enough victories?

I was an “honorary” pep band member for a day in the 2007 CAA tournament.

Pep band has always had some great folks!

Hot take: the Victory March is the best W&M song.

RE: Pep Band Appreciation!
I was the Pep Band Director in 2007 (class of 2008).

The Pep Band has the victory march around somewhere. We brought it out when I was there (perhaps prompted by people on this board requesting it). Someone gave us $50 at a basketball game one time to play it.

I send [a bit of] money to the Pep Band each year (and I know some of my friends do to). I like that they are now under the Athletics umbrella for donations so my donations count for the Tribe Club.

Pep Band has improved since I was there; I think having a winning team helps. It beats you down as a fan to sit through 5 to 8 win seasons.

RE: Pep Band Appreciation!
Has anyone ever seen a study re: return on investment for band scholarships? Band members seem to be some of the most enthusiastic supporters of a school and their athletics programs. Do they give back in larger $ amounts or with greater frequency? Do they often become future leaders of alumni groups and secondarily obtain these donations for the school via advocacy?
