Band members old and new practice basic line marching during band camp the week before fall classes start.
Flutes
Diane Sutyak and Caroline Dodd
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. Our ability to transform nouns like
amoeba, peacock, and chopsticks into verbs ensures that we are simply the best and that
no one has more fun.
Clarinets
Kristen Ajmo and Brandon Quinlan
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, and their general dislike of anything
flute.
Saxes
Benito De Leon and Anthony Montoya
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.
Trumpets
Zach Siper
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
Kelly Grice and Emma Jacob
The horn section is eight miles wide and absolutely everybody can
come inside!
Trombones
Ji Ann Greenberg and Kevin Juarez-Leon
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!
Percussion
Josh Mooney
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.
The tubas and flutes duke it out during Power. The flutes may be smaller but they make up for it with greater numbers.
2011 Trumpet section leader, Frodo '12, leads his section in doing pushups after the team scored during the Harvard game.
The color guard performs Rockford Files, for which the trick is "everything ends in a V", at the 2011 Spring Concert.
Ted Hammond '07 enjoys a game of field crumpets. This interesting game was introduced to the Big Red Band by Tau Kung '04, and has become a favorite pastime.
