Could you please go back to doing Pinball Wizard? It used to be a second intermission staple and I always thought was the most impressive song you played. Sweet child of mine and freebird kinda fall flat. Please go back to your money song, I miss it!
Thanks,
A lifelong Big Red pep band fan.
While we're making requests, I would like to suggest that the band play "Candy Man" from Willy Wonka when the scorer throws candy in the crowd before the 3rd period.

And it goes without saying that we want to hear the Notre Dame and MSU fight songs on Saturday.
Wow. While we're making requests.....
MY OLD CORNELL!!!!
Alumni LOVE IT. WE NEED IT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO US.
Pleeeeeeeease. Pretty please!
Play Dr. Worm more!

This.
It should be a staple, played at every single game.

The Michigan State fight song had great effect last time, but I think Ohio State's fight song would have more impact if the pep band were to add another, especially, if Ohio State beats Michigan in football earlier Saturday.
As long as we're making requests, I request the peanut gallery stop telling the band what to play.
Yes, they're not there for OUR enjoyment, dammit!
And they HATE request. Hate them.

To anyone who's not here or able to find a way to watch, they're playing Pinball Wizard now. Or just finished by the time I typed this. Here's to a strong third. Let's go red!
Sorry, Jordan, but here goes:
"Talking in Your Sleep" by the Romantics. It would make a GREAT pep band song.
And definitely more of "Hold On, I'm Comin'". Totally heart that one.
Band: Awesome job on Saturday.
My Old Cornell at the very beginning, the new fight song at a time out, pinball wizard, Espana, the alma mater, and plenty, plenty of Davy. The team's performance helped with that last one.
Thanks guys.
What he said. A great performance that brought so much more atmosphere to the game. My non-Cornell guests who are from the DC area and see a lot of Caps games commented about how much more they enjoyed the college game.::rock::
To the band,
Thanks for being at the game on Saturday. Too bad Michigan's band couldn't manage the same, since it would've been nice to hear the contrast between your broad repertoire and their one song played over and over and over.
I assume that the reason the Pep Band has not played Pinball Wizard and Dr. Worm as much recently is because they are also marching band concert songs. Conductors in the fall usually try to play as many "Pep Band Only" songs as possible since the marching band usually exhausts most of their repertoire on football game days.
The conductors try not to repeat songs that the marching band plays for two reasons: First, it's considered a bad idea to repeat concert songs in the same weekend because band members may get bored of the song. A bored band does not sound good. Second, fall conductors tend to practice "Pep Band Only" songs in rehearsal more because they know that the marching band is rehearsing the shared songs.
The spring will probably see a greater rate of Pinball Wizard performances.
Also, in the case that you have future requests or comments for the pep band, I suggest that you check out the pep band website pasted below, which has the essential contact information. Pep band leadership does not necessarily check e-Lynah, so this is the easiest way to make your requests/comments known.

OK, so everyone enjoyed the Pep Band. Why not do a modest contribution to their cause. I mean MONEY. If many of us gave a little, it would help their travel expenses. As an official CU function, they can't go by car and buses cost. So throw a few bucks their way. You can assign some of your vast contribution to the Cornell Fund. Thanks in advance.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
Based on this thread, maybe the band should hold a fund raising auction. Take bids for playing (or not playing) certain songs.

Because of Jim's post I checked out the Pep Band web page and since it had no donation link I sent a message via that page. Here is the response. In the seasonal giving spirit, I second Jim's idea of supporting the band. If you do it in the manner noted here there is another seasonal benefit that begins on January 1 and runs through April 15. i.e. the donation is deductible.
And while on the topic don't forget to send Mike some money for the team - I think it is often used for recruiting trips - and Age can be reached via the PayPal button to the right of the message board page assuming you are not reading this on your phone or tablet.

I can't find a more recent "it would be really cool if the band played X" thread, so I'll resurrect this one. Appropriately enough, the song I was just thinking might sound really cool in a pep band arrangement is from about the same era:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDwl-31afEc
PS--I would still love to hear a pep band version of "Message to You Rudy" https://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,23155,23364#msg-23364

I'm afraid not
Met some random people at the game who had not been back in years. Several had played in the band. All shocked at the band, the sound, the lack of playing, the music choices, the size.
It really has fallen off a cliff.
Isn't the band one of those things that is always In Shocking Decline? Like morals, politics, or the work ethic of the youth?

Music education and participation is an area severely affected by COVID (and education defunding) My uncle is a professor of music at UCLA and putting together an orchestra, much less any of the other ensembles, has been challenging to say the least. It will be a decade or more, he thinks, before they can get back to pre COVID levels.
THANK YOU BAND!! You make Lynah (and college hockey) what it is- fantastic.
I wonder if other pep bands have the same issues?
We see so few anyway to compare?
Is Clarkson having the same problem?
RIT is not they are thriving
I know many HS are having issues with music programs

I mean I can remember quite a few bands making trips to lynah pre Covid (clarkson, rpi, union, maybe even Princeton or Dartmouth if I remember correctly) but now it's only a clarkson band of about 9 people. Still respect them for doing it but seems safe to say other bands have declined.
I dont recall any bands other than Clarkson coming at all for the last 30 yrs.
Clarkson band used to be fun with the competition between the bands.
Maybe a 1 off time I missed.

Colgate definitely sent a band when I was a student, maybe in 2011 or 2012. I don't recall any other bands except Clarkson's at Lynah, though.
The Pep Band has been a key part of the Cornell hockey atmosphere for a long time. I had a conversation with Ned after it was announced he was leaving for Detroit. One of his comments was "I wish I could take the Pep Band and get rid of the damn organ."
Clarkson band didn't even come last year. I'm pretty sure that since the visiting band moved to section C/D Brown sent a band for one game. It was quite a surprise. My youngster keeps score of that stuff.
good on the current pep band kids for keeping it alive until the post-covid generation can restore it to glory. good reminder to donate to the specific cornell activities that you want to support and have more trouble getting university support. the hockey program has plenty of money and a normal person's donation doesn't go very far anyway; the traveling weirdos will appreciate it more.
The pep band is trying their best. As I've noted on previous posts this season, I've been to games at Lynah, Colgate and Sacred Heart where the pep band wanted to play more, but wasn't allowed to do so by the rink/arena officials, who preferred blasting the fans' ears with loud piped-in music.
When I was at the Quinnipiac game a few weeks ago, the alumni pep band was allowed to play during most of the play stoppages (Quinnipiac's pep band hadn't yet returned from break), and sounded good, especially since it was a smaller than usual group and they were missing some instruments. At that game, there was a group of five or six Cornell students sitting behind the Cornell bench, loudly cheering and starting chants throughout the game. Afterwards, I complimented them on their display of school spirit. They told me they were members of this year's pep band, and since that game featured an alumni pep band, they were enjoying the chance to sit in the stands and cheer for the team without also having to play their instruments.
As Ugarte noted above, if you like having the pep band at games, make sure you donate to them on the Cornell Athletics fundraising day, which I believe comes up in March. Every time I do so, I get a nice handwritten thank-you note from a freshman band member.
Will do! Thanks

Yes, we hired the pep band to play at our wedding, which occurred at Lynah in Aug 2016. We recited our vows at center-ice. Phil Graham said that we were the first to do this. So, every home game has extra meaning to us.
I love seeing/hearing the Pep Band at away games and donate to help them get there.
One way the band might contribute beyond just music would be to tap its alumni (or archives/database, if they have one) and learn more about the history of songs and cheers at Lynah, to renew some of the traditions that have slipped away or changed for the worse. There was a time when the band started some of the cheers at games, or at least encouraged those students in Section A (and B) to start some. To me, the Pep Band is more likely to learn about and implement "oldies but goodies" than the student sections as a whole. And it would help with what seems to me to be a lack creativity in recent (or many) years. For example, I was at the Harvard game, on the townie side, and heard audible groans each time the students started a "Harvard Sucks!" chant. Some were ruing the vulgarity (if you want to call it that), but many lamented the lack of creativity. Shouldn't we be better than that?
An easy and obvious one to restart is when the keys came out in the third period and the generic "warm up the bus" chant started. Against Harvard, or any Boston-area school, we used to chant, "go staht the cah" (and "go start the tank" when we played Army). I'm disappointed no one thought that up on their own (and, of course, not surprised no students seem to know it existed oreviously. The band can take the lead and get other students involved. There were plenty of Harvard-specific cheers in the past that also might be worth considering:
"H-A-R, H-A-R, H-A-R, V. V-A-R, V-A-R, V-A-R, D. Hah-Vahd, Hah-Vahd, Rah."
or
"That's H-A-R with a V. V-A-R with a D. Knit one, pearl two, Harvard boys, yoo hoo! (crowd waves)."
Of course, not everything should be tied to the past and today's students and band should have the freedom to be as creative as they can, but there is some value in looking to the past also, when it can make a positive difference.
I recall those Hahvahd chants. Definitely more interesting and fun than f-you and sucks. I heard "safety school" yelled at Harvard, which is funny and one of the few times it should be used. I think a few years aback I heard "primary color, secondary color" yelled at Princeton and perhaps Brown. Also, a good, easy to remember but creative one.

A lot of those cheers may have died out because in the '80s they were making fun of Harvard in an effeminate manner. Certainly the alternate words to "Ten Thousand Men of Harvard" made direct jabs at sexuality that today's generation has evolved beyond.
What surprised me was I didn't hear the crowd do "winning team, losing team". Did I just miss it?
Winning team losing team still happens every win. There are also plenty of creative chants, just since they aren't traditional they get chanted less and are less audible from the townie side or the broadcast. One example was I think from the u Toronto exhibition. Someone found out their goalie's parents were divorced and there were chants of "every other weekend" and "double Christmas". That might've been a bit too far for an exhibition game but it shows that innovation is still alive.

Honestly, just have some enterprising Section B'er come up with some good chants before the game and distribute a "dirty laundry list" of things they want the crowd to say and why.
