Dick Tuthill's post suggests that the Clarkson band used
to play both teams' alma maters.
I've been to all the ECAC buildings, and I don't recall
an opposing band playing Cayuga's Waters. Most
schools that have a band play their own song. When the
Cornell band can't make the trip or is not permitted to play
(thanks, Houston Field House Nazis), the Faithful sing
the alma mater -- with those in the know in the home
crowd singing alternate verses which will go
unreproduced here :^)
For visitors at Lynah, so few bring bands that it's
hard to tell. Clarkson and UVM most certainly do their
thing. That I can't remember whether anybody else
brings their band is just more evidence that it's been
entirely too long an off-season. Screw the NHL; bring
on the real game!
