Dartmouth College Marching Band

Once football season is over, the DCMB remains active by acting as a pep band at hockey and basketball games,[4][5] as well as by playing at various special events on campus such as Winter Carnival.

[6][7] The band also performs "Bandygrams" for Valentine's Day, allowing other students to request romantic songs be played at their friends, lovers, or enemies around campus.

[8] In addition, other members of the "Directorate" deal with equipment management, show writing, publicity, social life, supplying music, maintaining lists, and other various necessary tasks.

The conclusion of each game is cause to play the Alma Mater, to which the football team and audience members sing, followed by an arrangement of "Hey Baby" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

Before home football games, the band marches through Hanover, New Hampshire's Main Street, playing a drum cadence and the Dartmouth Tunes.

[11] The song repertoire consists primarily of pop and classic rock as well as some TV and movie theme music, though new additions are constantly being added by students.
