Columbia University Marching Band (CUMB) that generally does stupid stuff like Orgo Night.
Recently celebrated CUMB100, its centenary.
History
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 early 60s, when fascism became decidedly uncool, 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. Non-Ivy schools that have scramble bands include University of Virginia (sorta), Stanford, Rice, and University of Pennsylvania.
Slogans
