The Pioneer Pep Band performs for Men's and Women's Basketball and Men's Ice Hockey games. The Pep Band performs from November through the middle of March. The band supports the teams and entertains the crowd throughout the game and during half-time with tunes like Carry on my Wayward Son, Crazy Train, and Sweet Caroline. Each season generally consists of regular season home games plus conference tournaments and NCAA games.
Where We Play
The Pep Band entertains crowds at home games in the William H. Pitt Center home of the Men's and Women's Basketball teams and the Milford Ice Pavilion where the Men's Ice Hockey team plays. The band adds a 'Home Court Advantage' for the teams and makes both venues two of the toughest places to play for opponents. With this reputation the band has earned its nickname "The Beast of the Northeast".
