A band that attends basketball games and, at the collegiate level, hockey games and plays renditions of popular or well-known songs to "pump up" the crowd. Often, the Pep Band will be comprised of flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and tubas, and the drum/rhythm section will include a drum set, a drumline, or a combination of both. Often, the Pep Band is confused with the marching band by those who may not know the difference. The Pep Band is often led by the school's music director, or a drum major.

1. (adj.) An esp. stupid person who may or may not be your boss. Often associated with managers and stupid bosses, the phrase was coined in the daily comic strip "Dilbert" by Scott Adams, in which Dilbert's boss (Pointy-Haired Boss happened to be his name) had a pointy, devil-horn-like haircut and was especially stupid and over-promoted.

The section of the band that consists of a Batterie(no, that is not misspelled), or the field percussion, and a front ensemble, or pit, consisting of mallet and auxiliary percussion and often a bass guitar. The field percussion often consists of 3-4 snares in smaller bands and 7-10 in bigger bands, 4-5 bass drums, 2-3 multi-tenors (quads, quints, or sixpacks), and 2-3 marching cymbals. They are the hardest working, most featured section of the marching band and are often the flashiest as well. When the band enters the stadium, they often march at the back or in the middle, and play a 30 second-1 minute piece of music featuring the drumline, often called a "cadence" or "street beat". The best snare, also called "drum captain" or "center snare", starts the cadence with a signal yell or phrase and keeps the beat for the drumline during the show by yelling "daht" to the beat of the drum major during rests. Sometimes, they will challenge other drumlines to a "drum battle", which consists of playing prepared cadences until one line runs out of ideas and are declared the loser.
