Road Trips

  • Princeton - unofficial. Several cars were used. Anne Ferraro's family fed the band after the game. Jerry Lenaz's father, an RPI alum and Princeton faculty, bought us the tickets.
  • Brown - one night stand. Stole the Pep Band on Ice idea from Brown. Gave them high fives when they were done.
  • Yale - one night stand, Sat. after Brown. This trip was possible with the support of the Hartford alumni chapter.
  • Dartmouth - overnight. There is nothing in Hanover. Some members get car sick because it's a hilly trip to Hanover.
  • Harvard - hung out in Boston before the game. Some go to the aquarium. Some go to 'Cheers'. Dinner at 'The No Name'.
