History

The CUMB of yore

We used to have a real "rah-rah-let's-go-team" band. Current bandies refer to that as the "Fascist" Band. That broke up sometime around the late 70s / early 80s (approximately when we started really sucking at football), and now we have a scramble band.

The only Ivy League school that has a "real" band as opposed to a scramble band is Cornell.
