As suggested by the name, we're a band of pep! It takes some positive energy to play all the cool music, build human pyramids, and scream our Spam! at the top of your lungs so that the other team runs in fear. But hey, that's all in the fun, isn't it?
It's all worth it -- especially on Monday when the line-backer in your class thanks you for the trouble.

This'll be your only charge. Ever.
A one-time payment of $30.00 gets you one of our trademark tri-color shirts that are the envy of Tiger fashion -- and you get to keep it forever.
(Checks to "Tiger Pep Band," please.... and sorry that the graphic is wrong... it really is $30.00)

some last-minute encouragement...

For the Fun-Loving Musican
If you haven't played in years, don't worry. It's like riding a bike.
You'll be playing all the tunes in just a couple games. Most of the music is straightforward and shouldn't pose a problem to anyone who's remotely familiar with music.
Don't worry, all you have to do is relax and love to have fun!
|
|
For the Music Major
You just read that other column and said "oh great, this band is sooo sixth grade."
No, not really. NCAA officials called us the best band in the country two years in a row.
Why? Because we have some star musicians who are in the band just to make some great music and love to have fun!
|
|
For the Non-Instrumentalist
Yeah... You don't have to play any instrument at all to be in the Tiger Pep Band.
Be a Tiger Maniac or join the Tiger Guard! You'll be screaming Spam, helping us build our pyramids, waving Tiger flags, and just keeping the crowd pumped for Tiger Victory!
It's easy, no experience required. All you have to do is join us and love to have fun!

The Tiger Pep Band, TPB Tiger Maniacs, TPB Tiger Drumline, and TPB Tiger Guard are composed of students from both the School of Music and the College of Liberal Arts! Regardless of our majors, we're all serious about what we do: play fun music and cheer on DePauw.
(For a listing of the band instrumentation, see below.)

If your own instrument is not suitable for outdoor performance, we can provide you with another instrument at no cost. (Exceptions are noted with an asterisk.)
