By Dalton Ray —

The tune of college athletics is often taken for granted. The sound of the band is married with every touchdown, basket scored and big-time play. Yet people often don’t give the band much thought.

Furthermore, many people don’t know the distinction between the marching band and pep band. While the differences don’t seem like much to the uneducated, the distinction is stern — and the two groups will let you know.

The pep band entertains fans at basketball games, softball games, swimming meets and everywhere in between while marching band takes the spotlight at football games.
