*Just so it doesn't get buried, if anyone could help finish the list of people that were playing on this recording it would be greatly appreciated :) [[User:Trick trickster|Trick trickster]] 03:03, October 16, 2008 (UTC)

*Chris Marr was not on the trip. Sam was the freshmen percussionist with us (don't know his last name).

*The recordings seem to be down, someone should rehost them, preferably on the alumni site.

Eugene Binda, Jr. (Referee)

2009-01-09T07:52:44Z

Piratedan200:

A referee during the [[2006-2007]] season, he earned notoriety and infamy during the first round of playoffs (RPI at [[Colgate]]) wherein he failed to call a goal which was observed by the fans, players, and the goal judge (who later called him over to explain that a goal had been scored).

Eugene Binda, Jr. is also a dick.

Section Leaders

2009-01-09T07:15:49Z

Piratedan200:

At the beginning of the [[2007-2008]] season, the officers appointed leaders for each of the sections of the band whose job was to conduct sectional practice sessions in order to help the members get a better handle on the music and the traditions of their sections. Section leaders are reappointed yearly by the new officers.

055 - The Brighter Side of Christmas

2007-01-22T05:24:15Z

Piratedan200: /* History */

=About the song=
Arranged by Len Goldstyne.
=Instrumentation requirements=
Sleigh bells would be nice if we ever get them. Otherwise this can be played with nearly any instrumentation.
=Roadmap=
The piece starts with a straight march feel. At section B, the feel changes to swing, and stays that way until the D.S., when it switches back to straight. Also, section C is generally taken second time only. The D.S. goes back to measure 5.
=History=
This is a medley of Christmas music. The intro and outro are meant to sound like bells ringing. Songs included in the medley are "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", "Frosty the Snowman", and "Jingle Bell Rock". Many band members don't really like playing this song, as it doesn't have any particularly interesting parts, but despite this it never finds its way out of the active set. The song is usually only played once or twice per year, around the holiday season. However, it is frequently requested by members as a joke. It has also been used recently as a veto, for when the band is extremely dissatisfied with a conductor's choice of songs (or lack thereof), and is started by the mellos.

We Want More

[[Category:Vocal cheers]]

This cheer is performed immediately after [[041 - Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer|Hail]] when the [[Engineers]] score a goal during a hockey game.

The band and game spectators count off the team's total score while waving one arm towards the opposing goalie. For example, if the [[Engineers]] have just scored their third goal, the crowd and band would chant:

:''"One, two, three, we want more! Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! Sieve! Siiiiiiieve!"''

The word "''sieve''" is repeated seven times, and the last "''sieve''" is a little longer. There is then much applause, and high fives all around. In addition, anyone wearing a hard had will tap it against anyone else wearing a hard hat's hard hat. It is also customary for the bass drum to be struck along with each word of the cheer with a small roll at the end.
