As a disclaimer, when I said I will drown out as much of the opposing band as possible, I must also say that I am not a Pep Band member. We have as much as 8-10 horns in our section alone, and when played in unison, they tussled audially with the announcers on the broadcast of the Harvard-RPI game. I am an extreme fan, but obnoxious as i am, I'm quite a "sweetheart". Though I have given some derision. For this, Coach Gaudet got really pissed off at me at the 1990 q-finals at RPI, Coach Riley of Army took a swing at me in dec. '90, and I got "attacked" by Brown fans and Union fans in 1990 and 1994 respectively. So I'm also a veteran. And I can see how bad the visitors can be.... I would love to see a Union-RPI matchup for the freakout!!!!!! :) -Rich Vehlow RPI
