Back when mastodons bestrode the Earth, and I was in high school, I much preferred pep to marching (as I mentioned in the enormous marching band thread of a few days back). In our case, the group was smaller (this may not be the case at large universities that get their basketball teams into the NCAA tournament) and the selections hipper and more fun. Also, while we were well-practiced and sharp, we had a little leeway to innovate on short riffs during basketball timeouts. The main similarity to marching band was having to read smallish notes from books that fit on lyres. In terms of cost, the t-shirts we wore as a uniform certainly didn't run anywhere near as much as the marching band get-up, plumed headgear and all.
