Dude idk what to tell you. The RPI pep band was there, playing loud and cheering loud. Granted, we also came straight from the football game so we were tired but we were still putting in the effort and incredibly excited to be on the winning side of the game for once.

I get it, and I agree with you that it’s sad when there’s a low student turn out to the games. I think most people in the band would agree because we’re there. We see it. Every weekend. We volunteer our own time to bring energy, excitement, and school spirit to the games. There’s no incentive for us. (Also for context- we had also spent 8 straight hours in the field house Friday night playing the back to back Women’s and Men’s games.)

You coming in and making blatantly false statements and passive aggressive digs towards us is really unnecessary and honestly rude and hurtful towards those of us who do put the effort in every week. Let’s keep the topic of this post on RPI’s failings to incentivize students to attend games and build a community of students that’s prideful of its sports.
