<br />
Overnight trip to [[St. Lawrence University|SLU]] and [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]]. Were forced to stay all the way in Watertown because there were no hotels in the area due to many SLU events happening that weekend. At Appleton Arena, the band had seats next to SLU's student section. They gave vulgar remarks and middle fingers every time we played. At one point, a student came over to the band and hit the bass drum. Security quickly removed them and stayed by the band for the remainder of the game. Before Saturday's game in Potsdam, we met up with Clarkson's pep band and played soccer together. Clarkson's fans were much better than SLU's during the game and we had fun with the Superband.<br />

<hr />
<div>=Obligatory reference to ''The Matrix''=<br />
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Freakout is. You must experience it for yourself.<br />
<br />
=Actually Useful Information=<br />
Freakout is probably best described as being analogous to Homecoming. Only instead of being in the Fall, it's in late January or early February, and instead of a football game, it's a men's hockey game. It is traditional for a large number of alumni to return for Freakout and for a gift to be given to every person in attendance by the Athletic Department. For a further list of traditions associated with Freakout, see [[Freakout Traditions]].<br />

Overnight trip to [[Cornell University|Cornell]] and [[Colgate University|Colgate]]. Due to the extremely cold wind chill (and loss), the band did not to clap for the team following Friday night's game. On Saturday, the band spent the afternoon at the Shops at Ithaca mall, which included "The Entertainment Zone" (slightly sketch area with pool tables and a jukebox) and a decent Mexican restaurant. Before the game, we got together with Colgate's band at a gymnasium on campus. The team defeated Colgate 2-1 that night, earning their first win after losing twelve straight away games to start the season. RPI was part of a Superband in both games. [[Ungorr Nassery]] and Coach Dave Smith made their friendship official when the band was clapping for the team after the Colgate game.<br />

Overnight trip to [[St. Lawrence University|SLU]] and [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]]. Were forced to stay all the way in Watertown because there were no hotels in the area due to many SLU events happening that weekend. At Appleton Arena, the band had seats next to SLU's student section. They gave vulgar remarks and middle fingers every time we played. At one point, a student came over to the band and hit the bass drum. Security quickly removed them and stayed by the band for the remainder of the game. Before Saturday's game in Potsdam, we met up with Clarkson's pep band and played soccer together. Clarkson's fans were much better than SLU's during the game and we had fun with the Superband.<br />

==Road Trips==<br />
<br />
'''November 13, 2021: Football @ Union (Dutchman Shoes Trophy Game)'''<br />
<br />
Day trip to [[Union College]] for Shoes (W 19-17). The weather was chilly and rainy, with band members huddling under ponchos to keep themselves and their instruments dry. See [https://rpiathletics.com/news/2021/11/13/football-regains-shoes-clinches-title-and-bid.aspx here] for a breakdown of the crazy final five minutes of the game. RPI's win granted the team the Liberty League title and an appearance in the NCAA playoffs. <br />
<br />
'''November 20, 2021: Football @ Endicott (NCAA Playoffs First Round)'''<br />
<br />
Day trip to Endicott College in Beverly, MA (W 20-14). When the band's bus was arriving at Endicott, the driver hit a metal sign and kept driving, which tore up the side of the bus. A public safety officer spoke to us and our driver simply lit his pipe. <br />
<br />
'''December 4, 2021: Football @ North Central (NCAA Playoffs Quarterfinal)'''<br />
<br />
Overnight trip to North Central College in Naperville, IL (L 6-55). The band traveled by bus (13 hours one way) and stayed at a hotel Friday night. Per Midwestern tradition, members went to a nearby Culver's for dinner (many cheese curds and custards were had). The game itself was a blowout, but the band had a fun trip regardless. <br />
<br />
==Regular Season==<br />
<br />
Due to Covid-19 protocols, spectators outside of the RPI campus community were not permitted to attend home games. Football parents watched games from the hill opposite the home stands. Spectators were permitted for the men's hockey ECAC playoff games against Dartmouth. <br />

<hr />
<div>The Toll Booth Song is sung by the members of the band on all road trips whenever the bus passes through a toll booth. A line is added to the song during the first road trip of the Spring semester each year to commemorate that year's [[conductor]]. The song's origins are unknown by the current members of the band, though it would seem likely that it started sometime in the early 1990's as the list of [[Conductor|conductors]] in the song is roughly that long.<br />
<br />
===Lyrics===<br />
''Ahhhhhh'' (hold this when the toll booth first comes into sight, then start singing once the bus pulls out)<br><br />
''Oh, I wish all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops and oh what a rain it would beeeee-e!<br><br />

<br />
'''November 4-5, 2022: Men's Hockey @ St. Lawrence and Clarkson'''<br />
<br />
Overnight trip to [[St. Lawrence University|SLU]] and [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]]. Were forced to stay all the way in Watertown because there were no hotels in the area due to many SLU events happening that weekend. At Appleton Arena, the band had seats next to SLU's student section. They gave vulgar remarks and middle fingers every time we played. At one point, a student came over to the band and hit the bass drum. Security quickly removed them and stayed by the band for the remainder of the game. Before Saturday's game in Potsdam, we met up with Clarkson's pep band and played soccer together. Clarkson's fans were much better than SLU's during the game and we had fun with the Superband. <br />

<hr />
<div>The Toll Booth Song is sung by the members of the band on all road trips whenever the bus passes through a toll booth. A line is added to the song during the first road trip of the Spring semester each year to commemorate that year's [[conductor]]. The song's origins are unknown by the current members of the band, though it would seem likely that it started sometime in the early 1990's as the list of [[Conductor|conductors]] in the song is roughly that long.<br />
<br />
===Lyrics===<br />
''Ahhhhhh'' (hold this when the toll booth first comes into sight, then start singing once the bus pulls out)<br><br />
''Oh, I wish all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops and oh what a rain it would beeeee-e!<br><br />
''I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide going "ah, ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah"<br><br />

<div>A team of four, silly enough to want to be the business managers of the band. Responsible for all interactions with the [[Rensselaer_Union_%28organization%29|Rensselaer Union]]. For a list of things that are traditionally done by/to the managers, see [[Manager Traditions]].<br />

*[[Jonas Paquette]]<br />
<br />
=Current Associate Managers=<br />
*[[Ungorr Nassery]]<br />
*[[Megan Fife]]<br />
<br />
=Past Managers=<br />
The current system of two associate and two executive managers has not always been in place. Before the Spring 2019 semester, the band had only two concurrently elected managers. One election was held per year and there was an understood one-year commitment that the electee would serve. A manager will henceforth serve one semester as associate manager, and one semester as executive manager. Before the mid-1980s, the band had a senior band manager and an assistant band manager. One election was held per year and there was an understood two-year commitment that the electee would serve the first year as assistant manager and the second year as senior manager.<br />
<br />
Below, starting in S2019, the two executive managers served with and mentored two associate managers. The records below reflect the total two semester term. <br />

*F2020-S2021 [[Garrett Paquette]], [[Colin McMaster]] (During remote learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the band decided to extend the duration of the elected board.)<br />

Overnight trip to [[Brown University|Brown]] and [[Yale University|Yale]]. Students at Brown were still on holiday break, so the band almost had the arena to themselves. Explored New Haven and met up with Yale's pep band on Saturday. <br />
<br />
====January 25, 2020: Mayor's Cup @ Times Union Center====<br />
Day trip to support the women's and men's hockey teams versus Union. The women's team lost 0-2. The men's team technically tied with Union, but won the Mayor's Cup via shoot out. <br />
<br />

Day trip to QPac.<br />
<br />
====February 29, 2020: Men's Hockey @ Dartmouth====<br />
Day trip to [[Dartmouth College]]. The band got told off for swearing and being rude to the team. Dartmouth's goalie was Adrian Clark and the band held up the CLARK SUCKS signs. Due to the sudden Covid-19 pandemic shortly after, this game ended up being the last one in RPI's season. Very disappointing as the team was doing well and looking forward to the playoffs. <br />

The MVP Arena (formerly known as the Times Union Center, Pepsi Arena, and before then as the Knickerbocker Arena) in Albany, NY is a former home of the [[ECAC Hockey]] men's hockey [[ECAC Hockey#Men's Playoffs|tournament]].

<br />
The Mayor's Cup game was introduced in 2013. The Mayor's Cup features [[Union College|Union]] and [[Engineers|RPI]]. The games typically have a large turnout and end with the Mayor of Albany presenting the winning team with the Mayor's Cup trophy.<br />

Day trip for [[Dutchman's Shoes|Shoes]].<br />
<br />
====January 17-18, 2020: Men's Hockey @ Brown and Yale====<br />
Overnight trip to [[Brown University|Brown]] and [[Yale University|Yale]]. Students at Brown were still on holiday break, so the band almost had the arena to themselves. Explored New Haven and met up with Yale's pep band on Saturday. <br />
<br />
====January 25, 2020: Mayor's Cup @ Times Union Center====<br />
Day trip to support the women's and men's hockey teams versus Union. The women's team lost 0-2. The men's team technically tied with Union, but won the Mayor's Cup via shoot out. <br />
<br />
====February 8, 2020: Women's Hockey @ Quinnipiac====<br />
Day trip to QPac.<br />
<br />
====February 29, 2020: Men's Hockey @ Dartmouth====<br />
Day trip to [[Dartmouth College]]. The band got told off for swearing and being rude to the team. Dartmouth's goalie was Adrian Clark and the band held up the CLARK SUCKS signs. Due to the sudden Covid-19 pandemic shortly after, this game ended up being the last one in RPI's season. Very disappointing as the team was doing well and looking forward to the playoffs. <br />

Daytrip to [[Rochester Institute of Technology|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.<br />
<br />
====October 27, 2017: Men's Hockey @ Union====<br />
Daytrip to [[Union College|Union]] for the first rivalry game of the semester. The team lost 4-2. <br />
<br />
====January 12, 2018: Women's Hockey @ Clarkson====<br />
Overnight trip to [[Clarkson University|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.<br />

<hr />
<div>A team of four, silly enough to want to be the business managers of the band. Responsible for all interactions with the [[Rensselaer_Union_%28organization%29|Rensselaer Union]]. For a list of things that are traditionally done by/to the managers, see [[Manager Traditions]].<br />

*[[Caleb Crooks]] <br />
*[[Jonas Paquette]]<br />

=Current Associate Managers=<br />
*[[Ungorr Nassery]]<br />
*[[Megan Fife]]<br />
<br />
=Past Managers=<br />
The current system of two associate and two executive managers has not always been in place. Before the Spring 2019 semester, the band had only two concurrently elected managers. One election was held per year and there was an understood one-year commitment that the electee would serve. A manager will henceforth serve one semester as associate manager, and one semester as executive manager. Before the mid-1980s, the band had a senior band manager and an assistant band manager. One election was held per year and there was an understood two-year commitment that the electee would serve the first year as assistant manager and the second year as senior manager.<br />
<br />
Below, starting in S2019, the two executive managers served with and mentored two associate managers. The records below reflect the total two semester term. <br />

<hr />
<div>Black Friday started during the [[2003-2004]] season to honor the passing of women's hockey coach Bill Cahill and equipment manager Tom Cavosie. This game now takes place on the first home [[ECAC Hockey]] game of the season. Free admission is given to all students wearing black, and members of the band are given [[Black Friday T-shirts|black t-shirts]] which they wear over their regular [[Rugby Shirts|rugby shirts]]. The team also wears special black jerseys for the game which are raffled off for charity afterwards. In [[2010-2011|2010]], Black Friday was replaced with Black Saturday due to the home-and-home weekend with [[Union College|Union]] being the first [[ECAC Hockey|ECAC]] weekend involving a home game. As of the [[2018-2019|2018-19]] season, this event is named Blackout. RPI is 11-5-2 all-time in Blackout games.<br />

==Black Friday T-shirts==<br />
Every year for Black Friday the band is given a set of Black Friday t-shirts by the Athletic Department. It has been tradition since the [[2003-2004|first Black Friday]] to wear the t-shirts over the band's usual [[Rugby Shirts|rugby shirts]] to match the crowd which is also encouraged to wear black for the game. Starting in the 2014-2015 season, the band stopped receiving T-Shirts. As of the 2018-19 season, the band again gets Blackout t-shirts. <br />

<div>==1923-1974: Pre-History==<br />
<br />
Prior to the 1973-1974 school year, the RPI Pep Band was run by a salaried manager rather than by student managers. The one and only non-student manager was A. Olin Niles, the arranger of the "[[041 - Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer|Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer]]" chart that the Pep Band still plays.<br />
<br />
From a 12/2/81 issue of The Polytechnic:<br />
<br />
"At its founding in the early 1920s, the band had eight members and often had to hire professionals to complete an orchestra. Today, the band fields 76 pieces including 38 woodwinds, 32 brass, and 6 percussion instruments. The roots of the band can actually be traced back to 1923, when a local musician named [[A. Olin Niles]] organized the school's second musical group (the Glee Club had been formed about 45 years earlier.) Mr. Niles had been performing in the pit of the American Theatre in the days of silent films. The President of the Union asked him to start a music program at the Institute, and Mr. Niles complied. As the talkies (modern movies) came into being, orchestras such as the one at the American became less popular and Niles was able to devote more time to the Engineer ensemble. In the early days, the band not only played at athletic events, but also gave concerts and played at dances. The group performed for the lacrosse, hockey, basketball and football teams, and would play not only the RPI school song, but also the alma mater of the opposing squad. In 1954, when the hockey team won the NCAA championship, the band took two buses and greeted them at the airport. Membership grew and through the years players broke off to form other musical groups. Niles, who was a big fan of the marches of Sousa, Goldman, and others, retired in 1973 after 50 years of service. Now 88 and living in Troy, he remains an avid fan of RPI sports."<br />
<br />
===1960s===<br />
<br />
====Forward, March!====<br />
<br />
During the 1960s, RPI's band was a marching band, in addition to being a pep band. Of course, it didn't do any marching during hockey season, but it performed halftime marching routines at every home football game and participated in an occasional parade.<br />
<br />
The marching band's halftime routine varied from game to game, but the ending was always the same. At the conclusion of the routine, the band would form an "R" and play the alma mater from that formation. <br />
<br />
====Fight Song====<br />
'''Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer''' was the fight song in the 1960s, and it consisted, as it does today, of an introductory fanfare, an eight line refrain, a four line interlude, and a repeat of the eight line refrain. However, there were some differences in how it was performed. <br />
<br />
The fight song used to be played at a noticeably slower tempo than it is today. Basically, the marching band of the '60's played the fight song at the same speed as that at which they marched. They would have worn out pretty quickly if they had tried to march at the tempo at which the fight song is played today. <br />
<br />
In the 1960s, the band would play the fanfare and the eight line refrain, as it does today, but would then sing the four line interlude, rather than playing it instrumentally. The only band members who played their instruments during that interlude were the drummers, who rattled through a drum solo during the line "Hear the rat-tat-tat of drums that beat." After singing "Hear that might shout of", the band members would bring their horns back up and play the refrain for the second and final time.<br />
<br />
After Olin Niles' retirement, there was a period of a year or two when the interlude was dropped entirely, so that the fight song consisted of the opening fanfare followed by the refrain being played twice straight through. Eventually, the interlude was restored as an instrumental version, and it has remained that way since. <br />
<br />
It was customary during that time, as it is today, for the band to play the fight song to salute the hockey team's arrival on the ice at the start of the period, or the football team's arrival on the field for the start of a half. While that was going on, it was also customary for all RPI fans to stand up and clap along in time with the music.<br />
<br />
====Hockey====<br />
<br />
RPI's hockey coach of the 1950s and early 1960s was [[Ned Harkness]], after whom the field to the north of the [[Houston Field House]] is named.<br />
<br />
Harkness always put competitive teams on the ice, but for some reason he always seemed to have a problem recruiting a full roster for his teams. RPI usually dressed four or five players fewer than the rules allowed, which led to fatigue problems for the players late in games. Harkness was known for doing anything he could to offset this disadvantage.<br />
<br />
During Harkness' era, the third period would begin in the following manner. The band would salute RPI's return to the ice with the traditional playing of the fight song. As is customary at all hockey games everywhere, the teams would skate a couple laps around the ice to warm up and then gather around to tap their goalies on the pads for luck. Then those players who were not starting the period would go to their benches, while the starters moved toward center ice for the face-off. Finally, just before the referee got ready to drop the puck, the Field House P.A. announcer would intone, "And now, the (name of the opponents) alma mater," whereupon the band would play the visitor' alma mater, followed by our own.<br />
<br />
Eventually, opposing coaches figured out that, while this practice had the symbolic effect of showing respect for the visitors, it also had the very practical effect of giving Harkness' chronically undermanned skaters several extra minutes of badly needed rest before starting the third period. After that, an NCAA rule was passed requiring that, if anybody's band wants to play an alma mater, it has to do so before the teams return to the ice.<br />
<br />
==1974-Present==<br />
<br />
Sometime before '74-'75, the Pep Band wore very heavy red wool jackets. By '74-'75, newer lighter- weight (but still heavy) red jackets were being used. Both styles of jackets had the RPI seal on the front breast pocket.<br />
<br />
In addition to playing for football and hockey games, the RPI Pep Band played at men's basketball games (up through '79-'80). The basketball band was quite a bit smaller than the bands for football and hockey games. Hail was played when the team came out and if they won, the usual cheers were played during time-outs, and 5 special short cheers were arranged for when RPI made a basket.<br />

During the 1960s, RPI's band was a marching band, in addition to being a pep band. Of course, it didn't do any marching during hockey season, but it performed halftime marching routines at every home football game and participated in an occasional parade.<br />
<br />
The marching band's halftime routine varied from game to game, but the ending was always the same. At the conclusion of the routine, the band would form an "R" and play the alma mater from that formation. <br />
<br />
====Fight Song====<br />
'''Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer''' was the fight song in the 1960s, and it consisted, as it does today, of an introductory fanfare, an eight line refrain, a four line interlude, and a repeat of the eight line refrain. However, there were some differences in how it was performed. <br />
<br />
The fight song used to be played at a noticeably slower tempo than it is today. Basically, the marching band of the '60's played the fight song at the same speed as that at which they marched. They would have worn out pretty quickly if they had tried to march at the tempo at which the fight song is played today. <br />
<br />
In the 1960s, the band would play the fanfare and the eight line refrain, as it does today, but would then sing the four line interlude, rather than playing it instrumentally. The only band members who played their instruments during that interlude were the drummers, who rattled through a drum solo during the line "Hear the rat-tat-tat of drums that beat." After singing "Hear that might shout of", the band members would bring their horns back up and play the refrain for the second and final time.<br />
<br />
After Olin Niles' retirement, there was a period of a year or two when the interlude was dropped entirely, so that the fight song consisted of the opening fanfare followed by the refrain being played twice straight through. Eventually, the interlude was restored as an instrumental version, and it has remained that way since. <br />
<br />
It was customary during that time, as it is today, for the band to play the fight song to salute the hockey team's arrival on the ice at the start of the period, or the football team's arrival on the field for the start of a half. While that was going on, it was also customary for all RPI fans to stand up and clap along in time with the music.<br />
<br />
====Hockey====<br />
<br />
RPI's hockey coach of the 1950s and early 1960s was [[Ned Harkness]], after whom the field to the north of the [[Houston Field House]] is named.<br />
<br />
Harkness always put competitive teams on the ice, but for some reason he always seemed to have a problem recruiting a full roster for his teams. RPI usually dressed four or five players fewer than the rules allowed, which led to fatigue problems for the players late in games. Harkness was known for doing anything he could to offset this disadvantage.<br />
<br />
During Harkness' era, the third period would begin in the following manner. The band would salute RPI's return to the ice with the traditional playing of the fight song. As is customary at all hockey games everywhere, the teams would skate a couple laps around the ice to warm up and then gather around to tap their goalies on the pads for luck. Then those players who were not starting the period would go to their benches, while the starters moved toward center ice for the face-off. Finally, just before the referee got ready to drop the puck, the Field House P.A. announcer would intone, "And now, the (name of the opponents) alma mater," whereupon the band would play the visitor' alma mater, followed by our own.<br />
<br />
Eventually, opposing coaches figured out that, while this practice had the symbolic effect of showing respect for the visitors, it also had the very practical effect of giving Harkness' chronically undermanned skaters several extra minutes of badly needed rest before starting the third period. After that, an NCAA rule was passed requiring that, if anybody's band wants to play an alma mater, it has to do so before the teams return to the ice.<br />
<br />
==1974-Present==<br />
<br />
Sometime before '74-'75, the Pep Band wore very heavy red wool jackets. By '74-'75, newer lighter- weight (but still heavy) red jackets were being used. Both styles of jackets had the RPI seal on the front breast pocket.<br />
<br />
In addition to playing for football and hockey games, the RPI Pep Band played at men's basketball games (up through '79-'80). The basketball band was quite a bit smaller than the bands for football and hockey games. Hail was played when the team came out and if they won, the usual cheers were played during time-outs, and 5 special short cheers were arranged for when RPI made a basket.<br />
