Our uniforms are more comfortable now, so we invite all those alumni from the DePauw Marching Band to dust off their horns (or at least pretend to) and make it to Greencastle for Old Gold Weekend!
Admit it, you miss the autumn afternoons at Blackstock Stadium. So, come on back to Greencastle to celebrate Old Gold Weekend 2006! In addition to enjoying all the other activities around campus, you're invited to join up with the Tiger Pep Band and Tiger Alumni Bands and Stumblebums as our Tigers tackle the University of the South on the gridiron.

performance music

Haven't played in a while? No problem! We'll be playing the selections in our binders which sound great but are easy to read at sight.

As always, we will perform Eye of the Tiger, which you download here. And if you are worried about being rusty on the fight song or alma mater, those are available here, too!

Remember, it's not about playing the music, its about performing! (And of course, performing is the act of making other people think you know what you're doing... regardless of what we know really goes on.)

To download, right-click or control-click and select "Save Link as..." or "Save Target as...."
