Whereas other school bands tend to be formal, the pep band's personality is usually casual. Uniforms may consist of matching shirts, such as inexpensive T-shirts, and jeans. Often members need to supply their own musical instruments. Some pep bands at larger schools have more resources and may supply instruments. Many times band members hold fundraisers to raise money for away-game expenses and other obligations.
Generally, a pep band's members are selected from other school bands. Occasionally, bands may seek their members from the faculty, alumni, or community, especially if the school is small and the selection is limited. In this process, an audition packet containing warm-ups, a cadence, and fight songs is sent out in July, and prospective members are asked to send in a video audition.
This audition gives our percussion instructor and section leaders a preliminary idea of skill level and capability on different instruments. The line is not necessarily set based on these auditions alone, but it allows for a much more time-efficient, in-person audition during band camp.
The line is set by our percussion instructor and section leaders, who rotate drummers on and off of instruments until finding the arrangement that sounds the best. Basic exercises like double and triple beat, 16th note and triplet rolls, and accent-tap are also very beneficial to practice on your own over the summer. Essentially, the better you are at the instrument you want to play, the better chance you have of being assigned that instrument. What is the difference between marching band and pep band?

Of course, for marching band, pep band and other less formal groups your high school instrument will be fine. A pep squad usually just shouts cheers, while cheerleaders do jumps, tumbling, stunts, perform routines, and compete.
Pep squad is the lesser form of cheerleading. A plastic clarinet is good for marching band or pep band. They are more durable then wooden clarinets and will not crack due to temperature like a wooden clarinet will.
They are also good for students that are just starting out on clarinet. But for anyone serious about playing the clarinet it is better to invest in a wooden clarinet. If I remember correctly, brass instruments will sound flat when cold. Legally, nowhere. Just let us know that you'll need one before you arrive. No need to notify us if you play mellophone, sousaphone, or percussion.
We expect that you'll need an instrument. Depending on your participation and our instrumentation needs, yes. If you play trumpet, trombone or sousaphone you would really have to slack to not be invited to at least some tournament travel. We try to give everyone the chance to travel to a tournament game but it is uncertain at this time how our growing membership will affect this.
We will work with the other directors and they will work with us. You will be excused from band rehearsal for performances of these ensembles. This cannot be answered yes or no without taking into consideration several factors.
First of all, the bowl game is the ultimate destination of every college football team. Everyone in the marching band is expected to be there should we get to a bowl. However, if the bowl falls on Christmas, or requires us to miss being home for Christmas, we would argue for exemption for people who feel strongly about being home for this.
There have been exemptions made in the past, on a case-by-case basis, and we are flexible.
