The Quinnipiac Pep Band is the pep band of the [[Quinnipiac University|Quinnipiac Bobcats]], one of the other teams in [[ECAC Hockey]].

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 traveled to Quinnipiac in [[2006-2007#November 10, 2006: Northford Ice Pavilion|November 2006]], 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 QUPB was formed in 1998, coinciding with Quinnipiac's entrance into Division I athletics, and is currently the only instrumental music group on their campus. Story has it that early that season Quinnipiac's Athletics Director walked past two students playing drums and trumpet and said "Ladies and gentlemen, the Quinnipiac Pep Band!"  The rest, as they say, is history.  The QUPB is funded by the QU Athletics Department, which gives them a certain amount of control over where and when the band can perform.  From the band's inception to about 2007 lack of funding and support by the school had kept the band from growing very large, and as a result the band often faced severe heckling from rowdy students at games.  When we traveled to Quinnipiac in [[2006-2007#November 10, 2006: Northford Ice Pavilion|November 2006]], the QUPB's leadership expressed interest in coming to a game at RPI, as the two bands got along well and had a good time.  Though this has yet to happen, it is through no fault of the band's (the Athletics Department went beyond funding here by directly not allowing the band to play at the [[Houston Field House|Field House]], even if they carpooled).  Later that season the band visited Albany for the ECAC Championship game against [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]].
-In the time that has passed since then, the QUPB has taken huge strides in recruitment and musicality, growing to a group of at least 25 regular members with a fairly balanced instrumentation.  Recruitment was no doubt helped by the completion in 2007 of the [[TD Bank Sports Center]], which is a much nicer venue than the Northford Ice Pavilion could ever hope to be.  It also has the distinct advantage of actually being on campus.  America's Pep Band has visited Quinnipiac on several occasions in the past five years, each time playing a handful of songs with the QUPB.  Although the Athletics Department and fans have started taking the QUPB seriously as a group, they are still severely limited as to when they can play, with the PA system being frequently turned up to drown out the band.  This is all despite frequent chants from the student section of "Let the band play!"  Hopefully this will be remedied in years to come, as the band more than deserves more playing time.

 ===Fight Song===
-Quinnipiac doesn't have a traditional fight song, as their pep band is relatively new.  While home hockey games were played at [[Northford Ice Pavilion]] (through 2006), the QUPB would play a shortened arrangement of [[399 - I Can't Turn You Loose|I Can't Turn You Loose]] at the beginning and end of each period and whenever the team scored.  This later caused [http://clarksonhockeyfans.blogspot.com/2007/03/game-misconduct.html confusion] with some [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]] fans at the 2007 ECAC Championship game.  Once their hockey team moved into the TD Banknorth Sports Center (now called the [[Quinnipiac University|TD Bank Sports Center]]) in 2007 there were heavy restrictions put on the QUPB as to when they could play, keeping them from playing after goals or when their team entered or left the ice.  During this time canned music was played for these occasions.  Starting February 26, 2010 the QUPB is once again playing the goal song which is now an arrangement of [[Brass Bonanza]] that is more faithful to the original version of the song than the America's Pep Band version of the song.  It was an instant hit with Quinnipiac fans, especially since Hamden is so close to the former home of the Hartford Whalers.
