What is it? The Dixie Heights Pep Band is a group and wind and percussion musicians, who perform, cheer, dance, sing, and entertain during Dixie basketball games. The group is meant to be fun while also assisting with school spirit during the basketball season. The Pep Band is one of the most visual ensembles we have at Dixie performing for an audience of people that may never attend a band concert or see a winter guard performance. Any student from Dixie, Turkeyfoot, or Summit View is allowed in the group, as long as they know how to play a musical instrument. What does it cost? The Pep Band fee is $20, which gets you a Pep Band T-shirt (our uniform at games) and helps in the purchase of new music. What do we play? We have a set group of songs that we have played for years as well as some new songs that will be added this year. There is no memorization in Pep Band and you may check out the music if you would like to practice it at home. How often do we practice? Unlike the other ensembles which require a ton of rehearsal time, the Pep Band only meets 1 hour prior to the game in order to practice the songs. Can I be in Pep Band if I was not in Marching Band? ABSOLUTELY! Pep Band is a great way of getting to know more about the Dixie Band and Dixie in general. During Pep Band you will meet new friends, watch great basketball games, learn some fun music, and help support our teams. Many students who were thinking about joining Marching Band joined Pep Band first to see what the high school environment is like. What kind of commitment does the Pep Band involve? The Pep Band attends 10 home basketball games during the normal season (5 girls and 5 boys games). The band also travels with the teams during the District, Regional, and State Tournaments. 2007 DIXIE PEP BAND SCHEDULE
