The University Pep Band performs at select home men's and women's basketball games. This popular ensemble is offered during the spring semester and serves to support and demonstrate team spirit and help generate spectator enthusiasm.

This student-led group, assisted by Dr. French, performs a variety of music styles from top-40 to college fight songs, and combines with the cheerleading squad to perform rousing spirit songs.

The group is open to all ESU students, alumni, and area community members. Students can be selected for leadership opportunities as student director or section leader.
