2005 flute section leader Amanda Robertson '08 teaches some of her section about the fundamentals of marching during band camp.
Flutes: Katie Callaghan & Natasha Steinhall
With our sassy dance moves and parading shimmies, the flutes keep the band looking good.
Ithaca may be COLD, but the flutes are always HOTT. We are simply the best - no one
has more fun.

Clarinets: Brady Jacobs & Brianna DeRooy
The clarinet section is an integral part of the band. The drum major
fears us, the flute section wants to dance like us, and everyone else
is generally too afraid to make eye contact. Clarinets are known for
their sarcasm and sharp wit, booty-shaking, general dislike of anything
flute, and on occasion, proceedings with the Ithaca Police Department.

Saxes: Kate Eldredge & Michael Basedow
From hot cocoa after cold Tuesday night practices to corn nuggets at the
Nines, being a Big Red Sax means a lot more than PE credit - it's lots of
good times and great friends.
Sax website
Trumpets: Scott DeVries
The Loudest, Biggest, Craziest, section in the Ivy League. We pride ourselves on
being the best, no matter what the metric is. If you don't find your hair tingling
when the Trumpets are around - check your pulse, you might be dead.

Horns: Jess Landis & Nicole Bardabelias
The horn section is eight miles wide and absolutely everybody can
come inside!

Trombones: Zach Shirk & Frank Gonzalez
When trumpets in this band appear
To menace all our fun and cheer
What hero should then appear
To bring us to our precious...chocolate fountain...
Slide of Lightning
Sound of Thunder
Drinking all the table under
Underbone......Under- Under- Underbone!!!
Un-der-bone!
Bones website
Percussion: Nate Chertack
The drumline could have gone solo a long time ago, but we like to keep the
band around for tradition-- and to make it clear how awesome we are by
comparison. We rock hard, head-bang, dance, and stick click like nobody's
business. Beware of ninja.
