UALBANY
PEP BAND STILL RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS
It’s not too late to sign up for UAlbany’s new
Pep Band, says band director Kevin Champagne. “We’re
still looking for students to join who want to boost school
spirit and have fun. Would-be members should have at least
high school instrumental proficiency.”
Donning
their new purple and gold monogrammed rugby shirts and belting
out their repertoire of up-tempo songs such as Mony
Mony, Hot, Hot, Hot, Mambo #5 and the theme from Hawaii
Five-O, UAlbany’s hotter-than-hot Pep
Band made its debut at the women’s and men’s
basketball games at the Big Purple Growl on February 7th.
The
group is a mix of both students and staff. Some students
are music majors, others are talented freshmen just out
of their high school bands. Still others aren’t music
majors, but have extensive backgrounds in music. Whatever
their background, members are having a great time boosting
the spirit level at Great Danes events.
Interested
students should contact Kevin Champagne at 442-4293 or email
