Yes I know I'm late to be asking this....
Did the pep band ever put out a CD? Where can I buy this remarkable audio masterpiece?
Yes. They put out a CD entitled "Live At Lynah" consisting of performances during the Brown-Harvard weekend in Nov. 1997. Also included are tracks of the Lynah Faithful's chants and cheers as well as Grady Whittenberg's radio call of the memorable 3rd period comeback vs. Brown. It's an excellent product, IMHO.
Copies were still available for sale at the Cornell Campus Store, last I checked (Fall, 2002). http://www.store.cornell.edu (607) 255-4111 • (800) 624-4080 (8:30am-5pm EST)
The band was recorded again in Nov. 2001 during the Brown-Harvard weekend. That CD has yet to be released due to copyright snags and other various delays, but as soon as it is, the people responsible will post to this forum.

Pretty soon, the Pep Band may wish to ditch that recording and start all over again, as we are now in 2003...
The CD Rich is referring to was recorded in February 2002. It is the one in copyright purgatory at the moment. Again, I'll post ordering info here as soon as it's done.
D'oh. That'll teach me to not check last year's schedule when I'm posting at 2 am.
Just wondering...
Since I was in 9th grade at the time, what happened in the "memorable 3rd period comeback" against Brown?
From another post of mine on a similar topic:
[q]The most beautiful goal off a faceoff that I've ever seen at Lynah was from a face-off on the student side. Nov. 8, 1997, we were down 3-1 to Brown with 6:20 left in the game. Moynihan scored to make it 3-2 with 4:01 left, then during a stoppage with 1:25 left, Schafer pulled Elliott for the face-off in the Brown end on the Section B side. In a play that lasted literally three seconds from face-off to goal, Vinnie Auger won the face-off, and while the five other Big Red players got their sticks around the Brown sticks and held them in place as well as they could, Jason Dailey took the puck, skated a lovely little S-curve around them all and put the puck over Jeff Holowaty's shoulder to tie it at 3-3.
The rest is history, of course; Kyle Knopp scored the go-ahead with 1:02 left, and Brown pulled Holowaty, but to no avail. You don't see both teams pull their goalie in one game very often.
I don't ever remember the Faithful being louder in my fifteen years watching games there. Lord, I love remembering that game. And I don't even need "Live at Lynah" to do it.[/q]
