I played in the Cornell pep band for a few years, and the rule was: No playing while the puck is in play. We never had any hassles when we went anywhere - even at the ECAC playoff at Clarkson (1989, I think). I was told, although I have no confirmation on this, that the NCAA rule book states that after a second band infraction, a member of the pep band must go to the penalty box. I'm sure what they *meant* was that a member of the team must sit out the penalty, but that (according to legend) is not what it *says*. Some time long ago, this rule was applied to the CU pep band, and we, too, offered to send our tubas to the box. (What is it with tubas, anyway?) --Mecki (CU fan in a country that doesn't even know what college hockey is...)
