That was not in the FROZEN FOUR!  It was the regionals at Mariucci.  
The Maine PEP BAND is one of the best in the country, but due to 
funding and the fact that the NC$$ does not give money in regionals for 
bands they did not have a band that year at Mariucci, I think 2005!

Of course if Maine were in the NC$$  womens hoops tourney the nice 
folks at the NC$$ pick up the tab.  Don't get me started on this as I 
have a daughter in the pep band and have been apprised of how much $ 
they have to raise to go to a regional.  If however a team makes the 
frozen four the NC$$ does kick in some dough.
