Tulane Band in Homecoming Parade

...seriously suckas - you are gonna smack them foo's - we need to give them props for starting a band program again. They didn't have one for over 30 years...

"The SOUNDWAVE Pep Band, founded in 1992, was critical in the re-establishment of the marching band program at Tulane. Soundwave performed as a marching band ("The Spirit of New Orleans"), directed by students and comprised of sixty students, alumni, and community volunteers. It debuted in the Homecoming parade at Tad Gormley Stadium on October 11, 2003. The band performed at the final three home football games that season, including the Homecoming game and two games at the Louisiana Superdome. To punctuate that historic year, the band marched in its first Mardi Gras parade, Le Krewe D'Etat, on February 20, 2004.

...and today's TUMB.

With the momentum that Soundwave had created, the University supported the re-instatement of an official marching band program, for the first time in three decades. The Newcomb Department of Music at Tulane University administered the new band program, authorized it as a credit course, and hired Mr. Barry Spanier as Director. Soundwave donated instruments and equipment that had been purchased through generous donations from alumni and other Tulane fans. Funds raised specifically for marching band uniforms were also donated to the Department of Music for this purpose."
