Anyone with experience playing a brass instrument (e.g. trumpet, trombone, horn, tuba, etc.) is encouraged to join the World's Greatest Pep Band.

Perks include playing loud, rowdy music at men's and women's basketball games, having some of the best seats in Chaifetz Arena, attending pep rallies and other events around campus, earning two free comp tickets for all men's and women's home games, and more. 

The band rehearses once a week (5:30-7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays at Il Monastero Hall) until the season starts, then the band plays at all men's basketball home games and a majority of women's basketball home games.

Those interested can contact SLU pep band director Austin Turner at pepband@slu.edu.
