The band traveled to Hanover as the first night of the overnight trip of the 2006-07 season.  The Dartmouth band had already made arrangements for both bands to get pizza at ''Everything but Anchovies'' in Hanover.  Both bands had fun, and the pizza wasn't that bad either. After, pizza, we headed to the Thompson Arena. The tickets we received were for seats above the glass, a luxury many venues do not allow. Using a walkie talkie to consult Dartmouth's band, we were informed that rotation for play stoppages would be:  Dartmouth's band, Dartmouth's PA system (with music), Dartmouth's PA system (announcements/ads), RPI's band.  Dartmouth's band provided entertainment during the second period break (for both fans and the pep band) by marching around the top of the arena playing a number of songs, including Louie Louie.  After the game, we took advantage of the snow that had been falling for the last few hours by having a snowball fight before the team came to load their bus, and finding the snowiest hill in the immediate area to push the managers into.

The return to the hotel in ('''insert name/location of hotel here''') took a little longer than expected (the snow on the highway kept us to about 30 mph), but once we arrived, we had a party in a room that we had already bought, but due to a few open seats on the trip, was unoccupied.  Some of the highlights of the party were a quote from one of the managers, "We've got to maintain denausible pliability" - this is in reference to the fact that the officers of the pep band are technically unaware that anyone had brought "party fixins'" on the trip - and a man who came to the door to the room about halfway though the evening.  We had first feared that someone from the management, or possibly upstairs, had come to quiet the party.  Fortunately, he was rooming upstairs, heard our party, had had a bad day, and wanted some beer.  He paid us $5 for two Coors lights, and was on his way.
