The current sousa condoms, seen at Freakout 2006.
Over the years there have been a number of objects used to cover the bells of the sousaphones in the band. Much like billboards, the sousa condoms make use of an otherwise vacant space, and can prevent objects from being thrown into the sousaphone. They are akin to the trombone slide cover.
The current two older sousa condoms used by the band were purchased with part of an alumni donation prior to the start of the 2005-2006 season. The rest of the 6 new sousa condoms were purchased using a RPI sponsored WeR Gold fundraiser during the 2013-2014 Season.
