Road Trips

  • The band carpooled to North Troy to march in the Uncle Sam Day Parade for the second year.
  • The band carpooled 45 members to the Pepsi Arena in Albany (now the Times Union Center) on October 28th and 29th for the first annual Governor's Cup tournament. RPI advanced to the championship game after winning over Union in a shootout, and then beat Colgate 2-1 the next night to win the first Governor's Cup.
  • Took a coach bus over to Quinnipiac (Northford) on 11/10/2006 for women's hockey. The team won 5-1 for their first ECAC win ever, and the team was very appreciative, saying that it felt like a home game.
  • Carpooled over to Union on 12/9/2006 for women's hockey. The team won 5-1 to complete their first ECAC weekend sweep, and we got invited to a hockey party after the game.
  • Carpooled over to Union on 1/13/2007 before classes started for men's hockey. The team won 3-2, and told us that it felt like a home game.
  • Took a coach bus over to Brown for a day trip on 1/27/2007 for men's hockey. The team won 4-3, bringing us to 5-0-1 on away games that the pep band's played at this season.
  • Overnight trip for men's hockey was to Dartmouth and Harvard where the team lost 5-2 and 3-1 respectively. The games were much closer than the scores indicated (especially since there was an ENG in each). Lost much of the respect we had for the Red Army when they became completely unresponsive to our attempts to start cheers in the 3rd period at Harvard, then proceeded to sit on their nice warm bus for 20 minutes while we stood 10 feet away cheering for the team after the game.
