The Bison Pep Band performs at a variety of events during the school year, both on and off campus. We perform at all the home Volleyball Games during the Fall seemester, as well as Men's and Women's Basketball Games during the Spring semester. These events are encouraged to be present, however not mandatory, and hold no weight in the grading of Marching Band. (MUSC 111-01)
