===To do===
*Fill out wiki pages for [[:Category:songs|songs]] I have info for (eventually)

:*Feel free to help[[Song page template|.]]

*Arranging: both .sib (Sibelius 5, because vista sucks) and .mid files found below

:*Little of Your Time - it's off of Maroon 5's new cd, and it's actually an uptempo song [[:Image:Little of your time.mid|.mid]] [[:Image:Little of your time.sib|.sib (ver. 5)]]

:*Fat Bottomed Girls (again) - After actually playing this one through with a band, I've realized that this song has to be altered. Writing the song in the key of F wasn't a bad idea; making the trumpet 1 part start on an F#, however, was. Things always sound like they'll work when it's a midi. As of now, I've taken everything down a whole step (key of Eb), and I think it still sounds fine while making all of the parts a little more band friendly. Let me know what you think, and I'll ask for the forgiveness of the managers for using up their copy budget.

HLPXX: /* Black Friday page */ I forgot how wiki code works :-p

It might be a good idea to put the Football roster in a separate table since it's going to be roughly 3x a long. [[User:Bickfa|Bickfa]] 19:27, April 2, 2007 (EDT)

::Done. [[User:HLPXX|HLPXX]] 21:35, April 2, 2007 (EDT)

Why right justified? [[User:James|James]] 16:03, April 19, 2007 (EDT)

:Why not? Left works too, it'd just be harder to read whatever we end up writing if the table was in the middle. [[User:HLPXX|HLPXX]] 16:32, April 19, 2007 (EDT)
::I guess it's ok if there's content on the page. It just looks weird for the ONLY content on the page to be right justified.

If anyone else wants to go through the football roster and update it, please feel free. [[User:Bickfa|Bickfa]] 01:21, September 12, 2008 (UTC)

Was there a [[White-Out]] game this year? [[User:Trick trickster|Trick trickster]] 02:45, March 4, 2009 (UTC)

Motion to get rid of current football roster? It takes too long to update and no one really cares. [[User:Trick trickster|Trick trickster]] 01:27, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

== Merging with Hockey and Football pages ==

I merged this page with Hockey and Football, and turned those pages into redirects to their respective sections in this page. I know this creates a bunch of links to redirects, but those links should probably be left that way, because in the long run I think typing [[Hockey]] will be preferred over [[Engineers#Hockey]] for every link. [[User:HLPXX|HLPXX]] 23:25, May 12, 2007 (EDT)

{{stub}}
=About the song=

On, Wisconsin is almost exactly Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer, but in 4/4 time. Any part from On, Wisconsin can be exchanged for any part in Hail without any problems. However, Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer was written in 1825 by an undergraduate student as part of a URP, and therefore clearly was copied to write On, Wisconsin. (Since the University of Wisconsin was not even founded until 1848, clearly they were not the first to use this song.)

Free Beer

2009-03-17T20:38:56Z

HLPXX:

=About this cheer=
There are two versions of this cheer, the football and the hockey version. The football version is as written in the cheer sheet, and the slight difference is that in the hockey version, the vocal part is cut, with no pause where it would have been. This is due to the fact that there are no endzones or suitable analogies in hockey.

This cheer is based loosely on the military's Mess Call, a bugle call used to announce meals.

=History=
[[Jim Cronen]] started using Free Beer as a hockey cheer, just to increase the available repertoire of cheers. To differentiate the two versions of the cheer, the hockey version was announced as "Free Beer Minus Two Measures". Because it was clear when the two versions of the cheer were to be played, both versions eventually were called just "Free Beer".

When the conductor calls this cheer, it is customary for the band to yell "Where?".

Clarkson University

2009-02-20T03:32:11Z

HLPXX:

{{Road trip|
Destination=Clarkson University|
Location=Potsdam, NY|
Distance=210 mi.|
Venue=Cheel Center}}
__NOTOC__

[[Image:Cheel.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Cheel Center rink]]

Clarkson University is the second furthest [[ECAC]] venue from RPI (only [[St. Lawrence University|St. Lawrence]] is further, but only by a few miles). Located in Potsdam, NY, it is only about 20 miles from the St. Lawrence River, which marks the border between the state of New York and the Canadian providence of Ontario.

The Cheel Center is arguably the nicest rink in the ECAC. As opposed to the [[Houston Field House]], which lies far from the core of RPI's campus, the Cheel Center is actually part of Clarkson's student union. It is well lit, has ample seating (though still only 3/5 as much as the Houston Field House), and is generally a very nice arena. Do not take these compliments to suggest that the trip to Clarkson is a pleasant one, however.

Clarkson is the least inviting venue of all of any of the venues we travel to. Their fans are loud and obnoxious, even more so than [[Union College|Union]]'s. During the band's last trip there, several members were verbally threatened by fans, and it is actually somewhat surprising that a fight did not actually break out, though several were close.

[[Clarkson Pep Band|Clarkson's band]] is no better than their fans. They are equally loud and obnoxious, and show no respect for visiting bands. They will play over us, taunt us, and generally do anything they can to make us feel unwelcome. They also have a rather annoying habit of attempting to show up visiting bands (or home bands when they travel). They will scream something to the effect of "''Hey <other team>'s band. This is how a pep band is supposed to sound!''" Apparently, however, it is their band's opinion that pep bands are supposed to sound horrifically out of tune. This was especially apparent when they did this during RPI's trip in 2005, when they surrounded our band and started playing [[135 - Louie, Louie|Louie, Louie]]. After a few bars, RPI's band joined in, and generally outplayed Clarkson's band in both volume and, more importantly, quality, even though the band was outnumbered by nearly 2:1.

In addition to being a very unpleasant place to go to, getting to or from Potsdam is a problem in and of itself. No major highways go anywhere near Potsdam, making the already long trip even longer. This was compounded in 2005, when the game took place during a blizzard. With no accommodations arranged for the night after the Saturday game, the band had no choice but to leave Potsdam and travel back to Troy. The band's bus followed the team's bus slowly down the nearly impassible roads, and did not arrive back in Troy until after 4:00 AM.

[[One Minute ...|...(and Clarkson still sucks)]]

=Where to stay=
In 2005, the band rented out a significant portion of a small resort named "The Stone Fence" in Ogdensburg/Morristown, including two nice town houses for the senior members. It also had a fine view of Canada across the river. These cabins proved to be very nice locations for Friday evening's obligatory road trip party. The resort was also incredibly inexpensive, as the middle of the winter is certainly not high season for a summer resort. The resort is a bit of a drive from Potsdam (nearly an hour), but it is worth the trip.

=What to do=
Unfortunately, there's not really much to do around Potsdam. During the band's trip to the North Country in 2005, they spent the bulk of their Saturday at the St. Lawrence Centre, a mall in Massena which has a public, indoor skating rink in addition to a small assortment of stores and a food court.

HLPXX: /* Game vs. Union (Dutchman's Shoes Trophy) */

RPI has two names for its sports teams, the Engineers and the Red Hawks. The teams for men's and women's hockey, track and field, indoor track, cross country, football and tennis are known as the Engineers, while the rest of the varsity sports teams are the Red Hawks. The pep band will most commonly play at home men's and women's hockey games, as well as home football games. Every home men's hockey and football game is broadcasted by [[WRPI 91.5 FM]], RPI's college radio station.

==Big Games==
Like hockey, there are a number of games over the course of the season that carry special significance.

===Game vs. Union (Dutchman's Shoes Trophy)===
Every year, the RPI and [[Union College|Union]] football teams play for possession of the [[Dutchman's Shoes]]. At 106 games, it is the oldest college rivalry in New York state. Union leads the series (since the shoes were introduced) 44-15. At the current date, the shoes reside at RPI, in the '87 gym.

===Game vs. Coast Guard (Shotglass Trophy)===
From 1944 to [[2005-2006|2005]], the RPI and Coast Guard Academy football teams played for possession of the Shotglass Trophy. Coast Guard leads the series 33-19-2, though they've only won 7 times since 1985. The series between the two schools ended following Coast Guard's departure from the Liberty League following the 2005 season. Since RPI won the most recent game, the Shotglass Trophy resides at RPI, in the '87 gym.

===Game vs. WPI (Transit Trophy)===
Every year, the RPI and [[Worcester Polytechnic Institute]] (WPI) football teams play each other for possession of the Transit Trophy. Since the trophy was introduced in 1980, RPI leads the series 20-8-1. At current, the transit resides at RPI, in the '87 gym.

Natural Noise Red is one of the two [[Natural Noise Intramurals|intramural]] ice hockey teams that split from the original [[Natural Noise Ice Hockey|Natural Noise]] team in [[2007-2008|spring 2008]] due to an abundance of interest (and calls for more playing time by the players). The red team is geared towards people who haven't skated before or are looking for a less competitive atmosphere than the [[Natural Noise Black|black team]]. In one season so far Natural Noise Red has amassed a record of 0-6-0 with 6 goals for and 44 goals allowed.

Big Flag

HLPXX: stpuid tpyos!

[[Image:Big_flag.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The big flag]]

The larger of the band's two flags, The Big Flag is a copy of the official Rensselaer flag given to the band by former RPI President R. Byron Pipes. It is waved during hockey games during all playings of [[041 - Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer|Hail]].

For many years the flag was mounted between two roughly 8 foot long pieces of wood. Following the [[2004-2005]] season it was taken off of its mounting, cleaned, and put on a new 8 foot red hockey stick. The Big Flag is currently waved by ????.

HLPXX: there were two 26s...

RPI has two names for its sports teams, the Engineers and the Red Hawks. The teams for men's and women's hockey, track and field, indoor track, cross country, football and tennis are known as the Engineers, while the rest of the varsity sports teams are the Red Hawks. The pep band will most commonly play at home men's and women's hockey games, as well as home football games. Every home men's hockey and football game is broadcasted by [[WRPI 91.5 FM]], RPI's college radio station.

==Big Games==
Like hockey, there are a number of games over the course of the season that carry special significance.

===Game vs. Union (Dutchman's Shoes Trophy)===
Every year, the RPI and [[Union College|Union]] football teams play for possession of the [[Dutchman's Shoes]]. At 105 years, it is the oldest college rivalry in New York state. Union leads the series (since the shoes were introduced) 44-14. At the current date, the shoes reside at RPI, in the '87 gym.

===Game vs. Coast Guard (Shotglass Trophy)===
From 1944 to [[2005-2006|2005]], the RPI and Coast Guard Academy football teams played for possession of the Shotglass Trophy. Coast Guard leads the series 33-19-2, though they've only won 7 times since 1985. The series between the two schools ended following Coast Guard's departure from the Liberty League following the 2005 season. Since RPI won the most recent game, the Shotglass Trophy resides at RPI, in the '87 gym.

===Game vs. WPI (Transit Trophy)===
Every year, the RPI and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) football teams play each other for possession of the Transit Trophy. Since the trophy was introduced in 1980, RPI leads the series 19-8-1. At current, the transit resides at RPI, in the '87 gym.

:*Fat Bottomed Girls (again) - After actually playing this one through with a band, I've realized that this song has to be altered. It wasn't that writing the song in the key of F was a bad idea; making the trumpet 1 part start on an F#, however, was. Things always sound like they'll work when it's a midi. As of now, I've taken everything down a whole step (key of Eb), and I think it still sounds fine while making all of the parts a little more band friendly. Let me know what you think, and I'll ask for the forgiveness of the managers for using up their copy budget.

041.1 - Alma Mater

2008-04-28T19:27:42Z

HLPXX: /* History */

=About the song=

The Alma Mater as written by Edmund Fales was published under the title "Here's to Old R.P.I." in the first book of ''Songs of Rensselaer'' printed in 1913. In 1918, there was some dissatisfaction expressed about the alma mater and the Phalanx sponsored a contest for a new school song. Because of the distraction of world war, there was little interest in producing a new song and only one entry was submitted. The Polytechnic Board, who was preparing a new edition of ''Songs of Rensselaer'', attempted to resurrect the debate in the spring of 1920. A "large majority thinks the present song lacks the proper spirit, and that a new and more forceful song should be adopted." The song endured, however, and remains the Alma Mater of RPI. (Description courtesy of the [http://www.lib.rpi.edu/archives/index.html RPI Institute Archives])

===Lyrics===

''Here's to old RPI, her fame may never die. 
''Here's to old Rensselaer, she stands today without a peer. 
''Here's to those olden days, 
''Here's to those golden days, 
''Here's to the friends we made at dear old RPI. 

=Roadmap=
The song begins with a single trumpet playing the concert G on which the melody begins. The conductor counts off and the band plays the song once through, then repeats the song singing the lyrics instead of playing. The percussion traditionally joins back in for the last 4 measures of the vocal repeat, at which point the crowd often yells the final "RPI" quite loudly.

=Dances=
While playing Alma Mater, the band sways back and forth each measure (i.e.- to the left one measure, then to the right the next). The sway always starts to the person's '''LEFT''' regardless of orientation to the conductor/rest of the band (Exception-conductors will occasionally sway inverted to the rest of the band).

=History=
At the start of the [[2005-2006|2005-06]] hockey season, the band began going up into the stands to play Alma Mater during the second period break. It was well received, so the band still does it today.

438 - Are You Gonna Be My Girl

2008-04-28T19:24:22Z

HLPXX: /* History */

=About this song=
"Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" is originally recorded by Jet. This version is arranged by Paul Murtha.
=Instrumentation requirements=
A strong trombone section is necessary, as they have the verse melody from measure 17 to 36.
=Roadmap=
The actual song starts with a tambourine solo. The band usually doesn't do that because no one would hear it, nor is it included in the band's arrangement. However, it was included for the [[Live from TSBMH 2008|2008 Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Concert]].
=History=
This song has taken on a tradition similar to [[142 - Gimme' Some Lovin']], in that the band yells ''"NO!"'' whenever it is called by the conductor. 
Recently members of the band have been yelling "GO!" as a pickup into measure 9 and "I said, are you gonna be my girl?" in measures 61-62 (with pickup), mirroring the actual song.

052 - Proud Mary

2008-04-28T19:22:38Z

HLPXX: /* History */

=About the song=
Written by J. C. Fogerty. 
Arranged by Johnie Vinson. 
Originally recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival and covered by Ike & Tina Turner.

=Roadmap=
Played as fast as possible.

=Other's Recordings=

=History=
The original version of this song, by CCR, is just over 3 minutes in length. Our arrangement, played at the correct tempo, would be about the same. The song, however, is not particularly "peppy", so at some point, it was decided that the song should be played faster. This modification snowballed into an odd tradition of playing the song ''as fast as humanly possible'' - previously referred to as "on crack" in order to differentiate from playing it normally. The current "record time" on this song is somewhere around 42 seconds, which translates to a tempo of approximately quarter note = 360, or about 6 beats ''per second''.

At the recording of [[America's Pep Band (album)|America's Pep Band]] in 2001, it was clocked at 56.5 seconds.

:This is the article from when we won the NCAA title. I think rumor has it that we were called America's Pep Band (or the most spirited band in America or something) in an article about the ECAC Championships from the 1983-84 season. Nevertheless, it's good to have this article on the wiki. [[User:HLPXX|HLPXX]] 15:54, April 1, 2008 (UTC)

Distance=10 mi.|
Venue=Times Union Center}}

The Times Union Center (formerly known as the Pepsi Arena and as the Knickerbocker Arena) in Albany, New York is the current home of the [[ECAC]] men's hockey [[ECAC Hockey#Men's Playoffs|tournament]]. It has hosted the tournament annually since it moved from [[Lake Placid]] for the [[2002-2003]] season. 
Every October since the [[2006-2007]] season, the Times Union Center also hosted the Governor's Cup tournament featuring four [[ECAC]] teams (so far [[Engineers|RPI]], [[Union College|Union]], and [[Colgate University|Colgate]] have appeared each season, with [[Quinnipiac University|Quinnipiac]] and [[St. Lawrence University|SLU]] each appearing once) in a weekend of non-league games.

=Recent Trips=
*[[2002-2003|March 22, 2003]]. Despite not making the ECAC championship weekend, the band was invited to play outside the Pepsi Arena at the Fan Fest.
*[[2002-2003|March 30, 2003]]. The band was invited to play in front of the Pepsi Arena while fans filed in to the arena to watch the Elite Eight match between Syracuse and Oklahoma. We were mistaken for the Oklahoma band by a large number of Syracuse fans.
*[[2006-2007#October 28-29, 2006: Governor's Cup|October 28-29, 2006]]. Governor's Cup tournament games against [[Union College|Union]] (tie 3-3, won shootout 1-0) and [[Colgate University|Colgate]] (won 2-1).
*[[2006-2007#March 17, 2007: Safety Band!|March 17, 2007]]. The band joined [[Quinnipiac University|Quinnipiac's]] pep band to support the Bobcats against [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]] in the ECAC championship game. Clarkson won 4-2.
*[[2007-2008#October 26-27, 2007: Governor's Cup|October 26-27, 2007]]. Governor's Cup tournament against [[Union College|Union]] (won 3-2) and [[Colgate University|Colgate]] (won 2-0).
*[[2007-2008|March 21-22, 2008]]. The band joined [[Colgate University|Colgate's]] pep band to support the Raiders against [[Princeton University|Princeton]] in the ECAC semifinal game, and [[Cornell University|Cornell]] in the consolation match. Colgate lost both games, 0-3 and 2-4, respectively.

Mexican Cheer

2008-03-27T00:50:20Z

HLPXX: if someone wants to word that better, or even better, provide a reasoning for why we do that, go ahead

{{stub}}
=About this song=

=Instrumentation requirements=
The entire band is in unison, so any instrumentation will sound fine. 
Trumpet solo at the end.

== Past Mexican Cheer Soloists: ==

[[1997-1998]]: Martin Kosto 
[[1998-1999]]: Jamie Haletky 
[[2001-2002]]: Mark Doherty 
[[2006-2007]]: [[Steve Mulick]]

=History=
When other pep bands play this cheer, one of our trumpets will typically play the solo at the end. 
This cheer was added to the cheer sheets in January 2007, when the cheer sheets were rewritten to add songs and make the print more legible. Prior to 2007, the cheer was unwritten, save for the solo at the end. While in [[Steve Mulick|Steve's]] possession, that copy of the solo was lost, so it was written into the cheer sheets to prevent future problems. 
[[Dan Schwarting]] tried the solo on a mellophone at a women's game in Feburary 2007. Results were far less than spectacular.

*Unless anyone objects, I'm going to make a separate quotes page for each year since we started keeping track of years. On this page, I'll keep two or three of the best quotes from each year, and have the year title link to the separate page with all of the quotes from that year. That way we can have people putting whatever they want to remember on the wiki, but not have to search through a page of hundreds of quotes to find the ones that everyone remembers (as opposed to the ones that only a few people heard firsthand). This page is just in desperate need of cleaning up. If no one objects by Thursday, I'm just going to go ahead and do it. [[User:Trick trickster|Trick trickster]] 17:35, February 25, 2008 (EST)

043 - Gospel John

2008-02-25T20:14:49Z

HLPXX: adding a recording with a kickass opening solo

=About the song=
Written by Jeff Steinberg. 
Arranged by John Tatgenhorst. 
Originally recorded by Maynard Ferguson.

=Instrumentation requirements=
Drum solo

=Roadmap=
This song is written as two pages. We never play the second page, primarily because no one knows how it goes and because it would make the song too long. At the end of section G, we go back to F, and then stop at G. Section G is an 8 measure drum solo.

This song is also occasionally done as a sixteen-measure cheer. The band plays the first eight measures and the last eight measures including the held note at the end.

===To do===
*Fill out wiki pages for [[:Category:songs|songs]] I have info for (eventually)

:*Feel free to help[[Song page template|.]]

*Arranging: both .sib (Sibelius 5, because vista sucks) and .mid files available at request (I lost my rpi webspace!)

:*Little of Your Time - it's off of Maroon 5's new cd, and it's actually an uptempo song [[:Image:Little of your time.mid|.mid]] [[:Image:Little of your time.sib|.sib (ver. 5)]]

:*Fat Bottomed Girls (again) - After actually playing this one through with a band, I've realized that this song has to be altered. It wasn't that writing the song in the key of F was a bad idea; making the trumpet 1 part start on an F#, however, was. Things always sound like they'll work when it's a midi. As of now, I've taken everything down a whole step (key of Eb), and I think it still sounds fine while making all of the parts a little more band friendly. Let me know what you think, and I'll ask for the forgiveness of the managers for using up their copy budget.

HLPXX: /* Recent Trips */

{{Road trip|
Destination=Quinnipiac University|
Location=Hamden, CT|
Distance=150 mi.|
Venue=Northford Ice Pavilion (thru 1/07)
TD Banknorth Sports Center (after 1/07)}}

When it joined the ECACHL for the [[2005-2006|2005-2006]] season, Quinnipiac's Men's and Women's teams initially played at the Northford Ice Pavilion in Northford, CT. This venue quickly became notorious for its poor ice conditions, limited seating, and extremely low ceiling. It was a community ice rink being used for Division I hockey. Quinnipiac's teams also played a few "home" games at Ingalls rink at [[Yale University]] and the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, CT.

Quinnipiac remedied this problem early in 2007 when they opened the TD Banknorth Sports Center, a combination basketball/hockey venue with better seating, sight lines, and team accommodations. The $52 million venue seats 3,286 for hockey, making it the 5th largest rink out of the 12 in the ECAC.

The Quinnipiac Pep Band was formed in approximately 2001 and is funded by the QU Athletic Department. Lack of funding and support by the school has kept the band from growing very large, and the band often faces severe heckling from rowdy students at games. When the RPI Pep Band last traveled to Quinnipiac, their band's leadership expressed interest in coming to a game at RPI, as the two bands got along well and had a good time.

The bands played together in 2007 for the [[2006-2007#March 17, 2007: Safety Band!|2006-2007 ECAC championships]] when the Bobcats took on the [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]] Golden Knights. Quinnipiac fans commented on the quality of music coming from the band that night, as they had grown accustomed to not hearing them at the TD Banknorth Sports Center. Quinnipiac's administration had issued a decree along with the new building that PA music would be played during stoppages and after goals, leaving the band with little to no opportunity to play during a game. This issue will be worked on for the coming season, so that both Quinnipiac's and visiting bands will have the opportunity to play for games at the TDBNSC.
