From “Believer” by Imagine Dragons to everyone’s favorite, “Sweet Caroline”, Pep Band traces modern pop, rock, and anthem songs to cheer on home sporting events. Conducted and advised by Mr. Stephen Trombley, Pep has played at Grafton High’s football games, always ready to sound their arrangement of “We Are the Champions” in celebration of our school’s victories. This winter, the Pep Band will be jamming out on the bleachers of the boys’ and girls’ varsity basketball games.
For young musicians, Pep Band has served as a relaxed environment which allows students to grow and further develop a fun and positive attitude towards the music making. Pep Band meets after school in the band room on Thursdays and welcomes all instruments, presently featuring: trumpet, clarinet, baritone, trombone, guitar, percussion, vocals, and saxophone. This ensemble gives enrolled students in band and chorus a chance to play a different kind of music, featuring shorter selections with more frequent performances. “You get to play outside of a concert environment,” says clarinetist Nathan Waltham, also referring to the group as “closely knit” together. Fellow trombone player Josh Fiore also mentioned seeing Pep Band as “an opportunity to play upbeat and very fun music in front of live audiences”. Pep Band gives members more time to play and learn music while still enjoying themselves. If you play an instrument, or are interested in joining Pep Band, you can stop by the band room or email Mr. Trombley! Pep is not only stress-free and fun, but always open to any students interested in music!
