+The [[Boston University|BU]] cheer (known generically as "Go Team Go") is played by just about every pep band in existence during football, basketball, hockey, and quidditch matches.  It has the name "BU" because of the ridiculous number of times BU's pep band plays the cheer at each game they play at.  The chromatic five-note cheer can be played with just about any harmonic accompaniment, but RPI's band plays it in unison with occasional ad libbing by individual players ([[:Category:Trumpets|trumpets]] and [[:Category:Trombones|trombones]] in particular).

-The BU cheer is played by just about every pep band in existence, during football, basketball, hockey, and quidditch matches.  The chromatic five-note cheer can be played with just about any harmonic accompaniment, but RPI's band plays it in unison, with occasional ad libbing by individual players (trumpets and trombones in particular).
+This cheer tends to be one of the first few cheers played by the band during the beginning of a game.  Prior to the rewriting of the cheer sheets in [[2006-2007|2007]], it was not uncommon for BU to be played two or three times throughout the length of a game.  Notably, [[Jim Cronen]] conducted one hockey game during the [[1997-1998]] season intentionally avoiding BU.  This was an accomplishment, given the band's then frequent use of the cheer and limited cheer selection.
-Usually, BU is one of the first three cheers out of the band in the beginning of a game, and is usually repeated two or three times throughout the length of the contest.  Notably, [[Jim Cronen]] conducted one hockey game during the [[1997-1998]] season intentionally avoiding BU.  This was an accomplishment, given the band's frequent use of the cheer.
