Things which are traditionally done by members of the band at the [[Big Red Freakout]].

==Rehearsal with the Alumni==
Many of the alumni who are returning for Freakout make an appearance the rehearsal that moring to dust the cobwebs off of their instruments and to get some of the songs back under their fingers.

==Lasagna Dinner==
The band holds a pre-Freakout lasagna dinner and face painting each year. Prior to [[Freakout 2005|2005]], the band and the alumni both attended the same lasagna dinner, but due to increasing numbers of returning alumni, the [[RPI Pep Band Alumni Association|Alumni Association]] has held its own separate lasagna dinner every year since.

==Frosh==
At the Lasagna Dinner, it is traditional that one of the freshmen in the band get the word "Frosh" written on his/her face. For a list of past year's Frosh, see [[Frosh|here]].

==Freakout Gift==
A free gift is given away to every person who attends Freakout. For a given year's gift, refer to the page for that years [[:Category:Freakout|Freakout]].

==Freakout Strippers==
During the second period break, the band plays [[084 - The Stripper|The Stripper]] while one or more strippers (usually, but not always band members) (usually, but not always female) strip at the front of the stage. For a list of past year's strippers, see [[Freakout strippers|here]].

==Post-Game Ice Time==
Following the game, the band traditionally rents the ice for a session of running around on the ice. This usually involves a ball or other similarly spherical object being kicked/thrown around on the ice.

==After Party==
Following the ice time and the unloading party, the members of the band and the alumni have a post-Freakout party, usually at a local alumni's house.

==After-After Party==
There is frequently another party after the After Party winds down.
