Road Trips
October 21, 2017: Men's Hockey @ RIT
Daytrip to RIT (Won 8-3). This was the first win of the season. The band arrived at the campus early and met up with the RIT band for dinner before the game. Alum Kyle Padden joined the RPI band for the blowout. Just before the first period break, RPI scored a goal as the band was joining the RIT band for a superband. James Milne conducted the fight song anyway, despite being in enemy territory.
October 27, 2017: Men's Hockey @ Union
Daytrip to Union for the first rivalry game of the semester. The team lost 4-2.
January 12, 2018: Women's Hockey @ Clarkson
Overnight trip to Clarkson for women's hockey. The team lost 2-3. Due to a blizzard in Potsdam, the trip was cut short before the women played at SLU on Saturday, but the band was able to make it back to Troy just in time to surprise the Clarkson Pep Band for the men's game at the Houston Field House. Due to this trip, the band has become really good friends with the Clarkson band. Tragically, the men's team lost to Clarkson that night 0-3.
