A Pep Band is a musical ensemble typically associated with school sports events, particularly in high schools and colleges. Its primary purpose is to energize the crowd and support the home team during games. The band usually plays lively music, including fight songs, popular tunes, and cheers, to create an exciting atmosphere. Members of a pep band often include brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. They perform in stands or on the sidelines, engaging with fans and encouraging participation. Pep bands are an important part of the overall experience at events, contributing to school spirit and camaraderie among students and supporters.
