FOX 22 features Screamin’ Pep Band
FOX 22 did a two-part feature on the Screamin’ Black Bears Pep Band. The band, directed by Christopher White, seeks to elevate men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s basketball games into must-attend events. White says the pep band is part of the fabric of athletic contests and senior Jay Baines, a snare drummer, says band members, like student-athletes, “leave it all on the field.” In the second part of the feature, White talks about building tradition and playing the same five songs before each men’s ice hockey contest.
