CUMB 2005

Columbia University Marching Band (CUMB), also known as The Cleverest Band the World (tm) was formed in 1904 and is one of the oldest student groups on campus, and the perpetrator of one of Columbia's only traditions, Orgo Night. During games they tend to please the crowd by playing songs and cheers. They also perform at halftime when everyone is attentively engaged.

History

The CUMB of yore

We used to have a real "rah-rah-let's-go-team" band. That broke up sometime around the early 60s, when fascism became decidedly uncool, and now we have a scramble band, which prides itself for what it thinks are witty scripts and definite lack of marching.

As fascism grows more popular, our developing a standard marching band appears more likely. This new band will destroy the environment and offer no-bid contracts to multinational corporations.
